Tailor's bunion pain

I have been dealing with the pain and issues with tailor's bunions in both feet now for a few years. I did not even now I even had them until late 2015 when I got a season part-time holiday job at a department store. The pain from only working a few hours was unbelievable and caused me to quit that job. Since then I have been trying the conservative treatments - wide shoes, two types of toe separators, orthopedic inserts, icing, and ibuprofen. None of that has helped. I find the toe separators to be flat out useless. I am 40 years old, I am a very active person that does a lot of recreational walking and exercise. I have shutdown jogging and basketball activities because of this. I am seeing an Orthopedic doctor this week, because there are nights now that the discomfort wakes me up. Would surgery be a good option for this? I don't want to wait another 10 or 20 years of this getting any worse. They are both good size bunions to me and on the left foot the little toe is starting to touch my forth.
