Ball of foot pain is unlikely to be due to bunion. It may bee arthritis, but in someone of your age profile, it maybe some other mechanical issue.
A picture will help, but a clinical assessment will be better. There are some tendons and small bones in the foot which may be overloaded causing the pain.
Try using a gel pad for underneath your toes, for a few weeks and see if it helps. They are available easily online.
