The past 2wks@10pm my big&baby toes swell get hot/stiff & extremely itchy 3bumps on bigtoe&clicks when i bend it.is it all likely arthritis related?

Not arthritis: These symptoms suggest an allergic reaction rather than arthritis. The bumps may be hives and, if so, generally resolve after some hours. This allergic reaction may be to socks,shoes or a reaction to pressure on the skin of the toes. Do you get any other itchy bumps elsewhere? Antihistamines like benadryl(causes drowsiness) or claritin (loratadine) may help. Experiment with the types of footwear you have.
