F/U to foot injury - need help

I posted a few months ago about breaking my foot while I was pregnant. Turns out it is a bunion, caused by my dumba$$ self doing too much. Has anyone successfully healed from this injury without surgery? My foot is in pain by the end of the day, and that is without running. And I am going nuts, I need to drop the rest of this weight, and not being able to run is making me crazy.

    Bunions can be very painful, and the surgery isn't always successful. 

    I have a small one w/ arthritis in my big toe. I ice it when it gets really sore and wear orthotics (see your dr for those). 

    Heels are a big no no to me.

    Yikes, I was wondering that about the surgery. I'm thinking of asking my dr for a referral to the foot specialist, see what he can do that the physio can't. Yeah, I discovered that heels were evil at work last week, fortunately I had my runners to swap out. At least I'm covered for orthotics.
