Dr. Thomas Inwood answered

Specializes in Podiatry

Big toe pain: If by under the big toe you mean the bottom or plantar aspect of the big toe , it could be a tendonitis of the flexor hallucis longus tendon or boney spurring of the bottom of the interphalangeal joint of the big toe. A physical exam and x ray by a podiatrist will help get to the bottom of your problem. Good luck.
