what causes a stabbing intense pain in the big toe?

Accepted Answer

Big Toe Pain: There are so many causes. You first check if the pain is coming from the big toe joint or the lesser joint by the toenail by moving these joints. Then, you check whether there is an ingrown toenail by pushing down the sides of the nail.
