Question 1

i have a recurring foot spasm that makes my second toe bend downwards. sometimes, it triggers a foot spasm in my other foot. the second toe also bends?

Accepted Answer

Nerve: Often time nerve injury can cause muscle spasm.

Question 2

how is a corn under my second toe treated?

Accepted Answer

A corn is a : Symptom of some sort of structural problem, usually a hammertoe. Any treatment to the corn will only be temporary unless the underlying structural problem is fixed. This usually means surgery. If cutting the corn down (don't do this yourself) keeps you comfortable for a long time, there is no need to rush into surgery as long as you understand cutting the corn is not a cure.

Question 3

what could cause a bite feeling on the tip of your second toe, it wakes you up. feeling is every few minutes?

Accepted Answer

Nerve related: if you do not have any sores on your toe and it is most likely nerve irritation this could be from local nerve irritation or possibly a neuroma or even from higher up at the ankle or even in the low back area. If anti-inflammatories do not help in a couple of days then it is reasonable to get checked by a medical professional.

Question 4

second toe has a bump on it?

Accepted Answer

Easily identified.: Bumps, especially on toes, can be due to a variety of conditions. Included in the mish-mash of reasons are bony growths, cysts, foreign bodies. Location of the growth would help with identifying the reason. The best thing to do is have your toe examined by a specialist that treats feet.

Question 5

why is my second toe longer than the big toe?

Accepted Answer

Genetic Makeup: This is the result of your unique genetic makeup; some people have a longer one, some a shorter, and some the same length as the big toe. The length of the second toe does not have any correlation with intelligence, sex life or any of the other number of things I have been asked about in the office.

Question 6

what can i do for hammer toes, and a corn on second toe ?

Accepted Answer

Pad the corn: First of all, the pain from a corn can be managed with corn pads. I always recommend non-medicated pads because the acid can cause problems. If the corn itself is painful, a podiatrist can pare it down and relieve the pain.  There are also splints to straighten hammertoes. There is also surgery to correct hammertoes. Visit your podiatrist to see what is the best treatment for you.

Question 7

is it normal for your second toe to be longer than your big toe?

Accepted Answer

Second toe: It is a normal anatomic variation.

Question 8

i have pain in my second toe it stopping me from walking propley?

Accepted Answer

Have it checked out: Very possibly you injured, even fractured, your toe and now are altering your gait to avoid pain. This can lead to all kinds of problems. It can throw your entire lower extremity alignment out of place (hips, knees, ankles, feet) and lead to complicated, chronic problems. Make an appointment with a Podiatrist or Orthopedic foot specialist for x-rays and expert evaluation. Good wishes:)

Question 9

what's it mean if second toe longer than your big toe, is that bad?

Accepted Answer

It means : When buying shoes to press down near the second toe and not the great toe to see if the shoe is properly fitting.

Question 10

my second toe longer than their first. it's called morton's toe. is it bad?

Accepted Answer

No: History would say that it is a sign of intelligence.
