I read the link you posted.  Down toward the bottom it said:

"Work the area around and directly on the bunion to break up uric-acid  
crystals."

I didn't know that bunions were related to gout? Is this right?

RLS for me is definitely due to dairy products (or alcohol before
bed, which I almost never do).  I assume you don't consume any dairy  
products.

You did not mention eating any vegetables, just meat and fruit.  Was this
an oversight?  There are a lot of useful minerals in vegetables.  Here is
a chart of good magnesium sources (the first I came across; others may have
a better one).

The paleo sources here are mostly nuts and dark green vegetables. You
did not mention eating nuts either.  If you have dietary reasons for
not eating vegetables or nuts, you probably would need to supplement
magnesium, at least for the RLS.  You may be able to do massage and
exercise and shoe improvement to get over the bunions.
