A member asked:
The toe next to my big toe on my right foot constantly feels like a muscle is tightening causing it to involuntarily flex downward.

Hammertoe?: You may be in the early stages of developing a "hammertoe". The top of your toe may begin hurting if it starts rubbing against the shoe. As long as it is flexible no worry. There are prosthetic devices that can pull your toe down or a shoemaker can stretch your shoe up. Depends on you.
