Varies: There are a number of potential causes, I would not hesitate to be seen. The two most common causes would likely be local irritation of the digital nerve running into the toe, verses a "sciatica"of the S1 nerve in the back. Make sure you are wearing shoes that have a wide enough forefoot to accommodate your foot and don't hesitate to be seen.
