Get a definitive dx: I agree with dr. Michalski. Other things that should be considered are medial ankle sprain with a plantar plate injury or post-traumatic arthritis of the MTP joint. See a orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeon for a definitive diagnosis. One in your area can be found at www.Aofas.Org.

Many possibilities: Your pain could be as a result of many different things. A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, sprain, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality and neurologic conditions (neuropathy).
