What does it mean when my big toe feels like it has water?

Swelling in joint: Swelling or fluid in the big toe joint can be caused by a number of things, from injury to a limitation of motion in the joint when walking( hallux limitus). See a foot ; ankle surgeon for an examination and possibly x-rays of you foot.
