Pain while walking, tenderness, swelling, bruising, discoloration, misalignment or bumps on your toe are all common characteristics of big toe pain. Often, injuries such as stubbing your toe, overuse during exercise, and wearing ill-fitting shoes can be the source to blame. Other conditions that might cause toe pain include gout, rheumatoid arthritis, bunions, Morton’s neuroma, a toenail infection, and a fracture. Some at home remedies for toe pain can include soaking the toe, rest ice and elevation, as well as proper fitting footwear. If pain becomes severe or signs of an infection are developing, it is suggested to seek medical attention. A podiatrist can diagnose your underlying condition and provide you with the best treatment options.
