When I had my wave of symptoms, I had numbness and tingling, and a beesting feeling going on in my feet and it moved to my legs and the rest of my body for a period of time.  I also had a huge wave of symptoms, mostly neurological.  Everyone thought I had MS.  It was the scariest/strangest thing ever.  I had Graves disease for years, but during this time, the doctor found that I also have Hashi's antibodies, and I am now hypo as opposed to being hyper as I was years ago.  Odd thing is that the only things my doctor changed were:  He switched me from generic Levothyroxine to actual Synthroid, and bumped up the dosage a bit.  He put me on vitamin-D because I was quite deficient there as well.  I don't know if it was just by chance that my "flare" settled down, or if those med changes made the difference, but thankfully I have been ok.  However, I did end up with a little nerve damage since then, and I'm assuming this is permanent.  Luckily nothing major.  
I do know the toe thing could be from wearing the wrong shoes, foot mechanic problems, and your back as well - do you have back problems?
What are the other symptoms you're experiencing?
Are all your thyroid/vitamin levels in check?
I'm sorry you are going through all this.  It's not fun at all.  I'm here if you need to chat or have questions I can answer.
I just came upon this article and thought it was very interesting:
