Sharp Foot Pain

[ssbwoth]

I woke up about 5am this morning with a sharp pain in my toe next to the pinky toes .  The pain is so severe i screamed out in pain. About 2 weeks ago i did purchase new running shoes but i havent tested them out at the gym yet.  Ive been wearing them everyday at work though.  The pain occurs every 5 mins and just as painful as the first time. My foot seems normal no swelling or discoloration. Please help.

I would get an x-ray to rule out fractures or tumors.
Are there any lesions on the toe?  Blisters? Sores?
Any history of recent or old injury?

It sounds like you have a Morton's neuroma.  The area of pain is typical.  See a board certified podiatrist.
