Stretched nerve to big toe in '92 ankle fracture. about 15 yrs later, bone spur under big toe ball of ft . top of foot burns now. did nerve "wake up"?

Probably arthritis: You could have arthritic changes in the joint of your big toe. This can irritate the nerve. This can be treated by an orthopedic surgeon.

No: It is a different nerve pathway. The spur on the bottom will not cause burning on top.
