A member asked:

For 2 days i have had sharp pain - left( ball of foot?) large pad behind big toe. no visible swelling . painful walk/stand. what possible causes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rule out Gout: You will need to rule out the possibility of gouty arthritis - it typically appears suddenly in a big toe (classic presentation), although it is usually accompanied by some form of swelling, redness or other discoloration.
