Hi. I had the same problem. It turned out to be I was lacking in  some minerals, as ggreg suggested. I started on 250mgs of Magnesium and was better in  a week.  I would suggest a vist to your dr as I found other deficiencies were lacking as well. Cath278

You might be low on the mineral Iron, it causes the feet and toes to cramp up and hurt.  So, take a vitamin with iron in it a few times a week, and see if that works.  If not, since it happens when you walk, could be you need new or more supportive shoes... one time I wore a pair of running shoes too long, and a shoenail worked its way up slightly into my heel, and took me a while to realize that's how come my heel was killing me!  If all else fails, a podiatrist would be able to help you, both from the foot standpoint, and also any other process that might be causing it, from neurological to arthritic changs.
