I meant to say the pain is in my left toe area
Brief Answer:
could be arthritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
This seems like an arthritis affecting your toe joint.
You need to check your bloods for uric acid, and other tests for arthritis in case this problem persists or spreads to other joints.
As of now you could take an anti-inflammatory for this problem and apply ice pack on the inflamed joint.
Let me know if you have more doubts.
