Big toe pain: Start by going to the doctor and requesting a uric acid level. Try to stay away from fast foods, processed foods, especially red meats. If you are having an early onset gout you can get this pain in your big toe. If negative test then look into the types of shoes you are wearing because they can lead to bunions which would make your big toe area painful and tender.
