See below: This is possible, I think, but gout typically affects the first toe. Ibuprofen may help with pain. Consult physician.

Why does my big toe feel like it is stuck when I'm walking? I'm sure it's not gout because I don't eat that kind of food. Not painful if not walking but feels like it catches when walking and pressure is put of the front of the food, right foot only?
