I woke up this morning and all of my toes hurt when i bend them down. its getting better, but 12hrs later they're still stiff. whats causing this?

Several things!: Could be activity related-what did you the day or two before. Are shoes supportive and good fit. If the pain does last for more than a few days, it may represent arthritis. Many types affect the toes and mtps. See your doctor if it lasts. Temporary benefits may be had from aleve (naproxen) or motrin.

Numb toes: Agree with dr namey. Also consider neuropathy or referred sciatic pain.
