Foot pain: If the pain is located at or around the big toe joint, there are only a few possibilities but great treatments available. An exam will give you the best diagnosis and treatment plan if needed. Best wishes!

Need to See.: Without actually seeing your foot, it is impossible to give you an opinion as to what is going on, let alone a way to treat it. But, what you can do to begin, is have your foot evaluated, there by isolating the most probable cause of your problem problem. Then the appropriate treatment options can then be given to you for your decision.

Have it evaluated: Cause of pain may include tight shoes, sprain, bursitis, fracture, gout, contusion, neuritis, but of course there are a multitude of other possibilities. Thing that may help minimize your pain include: wearing shoes with a wider toe box, padding or strapping, oral nsaids. Get the feet inspected by a professional to determine the cause of the problem, as treatment varies depending on the diagnosis.
