Q: feels like there is something wrapped around my toe next to my big toe. it is very bothersome. any idea what this could be?

: This sensation may be caused by an irritable superficial nerve especially if there's no obvious toe deformity, skin irritation or changes. Significant peripheral neuropathy is unlikely as there appears to be no involvement in other toes. I expect your mild toe discomfort will resolve.
