Its hard to answer this question without knowing your age, sex and medical  history. I assume you have OA in your big toe joint (be sure it isn't the more popular gout). The initial aim of treatment for gout is to settle the symptoms of an acute attack.[35] Repeated attacks can be prevented by different drugs used to reduce the serum uric acid levels.[35] Ice applied for 20 to 30 minutes several times a day decreases pain.[2][36] Options for acute treatment include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchicine and steroids. Sorry, I ran out of space. Good luck!
