Pain under the toes is usually associated with physiological factors, trauma, osteoarthritis, and other conditions.
1. Physiological Factors: If shoes are too small, causing prolonged pressure on the big toe, or if engaging in physical labor for long periods or doing intense exercise frequently without proper rest, it may strain the big toe and cause pain. Generally, by promptly avoiding these factors, symptoms will resolve spontaneously without special treatment.
2. Trauma: If accidentally kicked, bumped, or injured by a heavy object, it may result in pain under the toes. In severe cases, skin rupture, wounds, bleeding, and other conditions may occur.
3. Osteoarthritis: It can appear in tissues surrounding the joints, including ligaments and soft tissues, causing pain in the thumb, which may worsen with touch. It is usually accompanied by symptoms such as morning stiffness, limited mobility, and poor flexion and extension.
Apart from the above factors, conditions such as hallux valgus, bunionitis, gouty arthritis, and others may also cause similar situations, which can be diagnosed based on related symptoms. If you are unsure of the cause, you can promptly consult a doctor for imaging studies and analysis, and seek timely treatment.
