A member asked:
Can gout of the big toe cause the whole big toe to swell and become hard and stiff?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Gout: Though acute gout causes inflammation within the joints of the toes, the extent of inflammation and associated swelling of surrounding soft tissues can cause entire toe to swell stiff and be painful.

Possible: Gout can cause arthritis, it could cause bone erosion. You need an xray, you need to figure out if there is a secondary infection and you need to have your uric acid under control.
