Joplin's Neruoma: What you are describing is entrapment of the medial planter proper digital nerve which innervates your big toe. If you have a bunion on the side of your foot this is mostly what is causing it. You need to see a podiatrist. There are injections along with orthotics and shoe modification that can help with this condition. Later on it my cause a lot of burning sensation and discomfort if left alone.
