Why Does My Big Toe Joint Hurt When I Walk?

Walking with pain in the big toe joint can be caused by various reasons. Soft tissue damage in the big toe joint area or long-term overexertion, such as frequent running, can lead to synovitis or soft tissue damage in the toe joint area. Standing for a long time can also cause pain in this area. If the toe area is injured, the same symptoms may occur. In such cases, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly.

Firstly, various violent injuries can cause pain in the toe joint. It is necessary to determine the extent of the injury to assess whether there is a fracture. If necessary, further examination is required. If it is only soft tissue damage, treatment with blood-activating and stasis-resolving medicine is needed. If there is a fracture, further treatment is required.

Secondly, gout can be easily induced by previous drinking, eating hot pot, seafood, and other dietary factors. The pain is accompanied by very obvious redness and swelling. The pain is very severe, and even without activity, there will be pain.

Thirdly, hallux valgus is more common in women. Recently, due to walking more, the deformed area of hallux valgus and shoe wear are more severe, which can also cause pain.

Fourthly, bone hyperplasia and osteoarthritis are related to senile bone degeneration, and the pain is more obvious during activity. These three diseases can be clearly diagnosed through blood tests for blood uric acid and X-ray examination. Based on the characteristics of the disease itself, it is basically possible to roughly determine the specific cause.
