Question 1

my blood biochemical test showed uric acid 9.0 mg/dl(yearly checkup 28/9/17. now i got sudden sharp pain in my left toe. what should i do next doctor?

Accepted Answer

Gout?: Could be a gout attack, among other things.  The toe should be looked at soon.  Gout can be very, very painful, and treatment options do exist.  But this could be something else, like pseudogout or cellulitis.

Question 2

sharp sudden pain in big toe only lasts a few seconds then goes away happens periodically throughout the day ?

Accepted Answer

A physical exam: Would be needed as the history given is not enough to make an educated diagnosis.

Question 3

awakened last night by sudden, sharp, throbbing pain in big toe. slightly red, warm, stiff. no swelling. healthy diet but drink wine. no ingrown nail.

Accepted Answer

Gout: Sounds like Gout, see a podiatrist for a quick relief, can get a shot or oral meds. Do not soak, Hydrate well and keep your foot warm

Question 4

i have big toe pain in the joint from car accident slamming on breaks. it's not frequent but is sharp and stabbing pain felt also on ball of foot.

Accepted Answer

X-rays: A podiatrist should evaluate and x-ray the foot. Fractures are certainly possible from brake pedal injuries.

Question 5

what bit me!?sharp toe pain returned as increasingly worse pulsing burning.red dot or hole?no swelling.next day no dot, mild itch.bee allergy.not that

Accepted Answer

No one can tell: It is impossible to tell what may have bitten you or even if the problem is caused by an insect bite.  If the problem is getting worse, you need to check with your  doctor.

Question 6

what can cause a random sharp pain in my toe?

Accepted Answer

A cramp: Likely most common cause.

Question 7

a sharp pain dowm in my 
toe when laying down?

Accepted Answer

Toe pain lying down: While you have not provided enough information for a really good answer, the first thing that i would suspect would be gout, where the toe is exquisitely sensitive to touch, even just of having a sheet over it.

Question 8

what can cause sharp pain from the chest to the toes?

Accepted Answer

Most Likely Nerves: There are a number of causes or "etiologies" for distributed pain.  Most are related to neurologic dysfunction or nerve problems.  This could be centered in either your brain, spinal chord or (less likely) peripheral nerves.  You may want to visit with a neurologist about this. Most likley he/she will order tests, which can discern the cause of your pain.

Question 9

every time i bend down to touch my toes or i'm getting up from sitting down on the couch or the chair i have a sharp pain in my lower back.

Accepted Answer

Herniated disc: While your symptoms are suggestive of herniated disc, you are a little young for such a degenerative process. It may just be a lower back muscle spasm due to excessive use. In either case, try Ibuprofen 400 mgs (2 ADVIL (ibuprofen) tabs) 2-3 times daily for a wk and a heating pad to local areafew times daily. If no improvement, see your doctor for a definitive assassment. Feel better soon:)
