Well, this morning as I was doing my morning rituals, suddenly my big toe began to hurt for no reason. At first I thought maybe I had stumped it and not remembered doing it or something. However, I thought long and hard and can not remember doing anything to it. Anyways, I tried to do some research on it, but still am not sure what is wrong. It is a consistent pain, but seems to become more painful if I prop it up in my recliner, and especially when I walk on it. My big toes are both slightly bent inward at the top joint, but they been that way since I can remember. I have also always had very flat feet. The pain is in the upper portion of my right big toe, and seems to be located throughout the upper joint. It also sometimes feels as if there is maybe an extra bone at the bottom of that joint as well, but I can not feel it with my hand, it just feels like I am stepping on a rock or something, inside that joint. To rap things up, I have also been walking more than I did before, as I am trying to loose some weight. Can anyone help me, or have any idea as to what could be causing this pain. I took some Tylenol and Advil this morning, but it did not fully kill the pain. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
