Hello I have just looked up my symptoms and found my exact issue on here, my middle toe on my right foot started aching bout 6weeks ago at first I believed it to be a spider bite and went to the doctors I was given keflex but all symptoms persisted and got worse. I have no history of leg / foot injuries no history of diabetes or anything that could reduce blood flow.like I said it started with what I thought was a spider bite it is now in the joint.

Hi, it appears to be the arthritis, and needs to be treated with medicines, you may need to have x ray, R.A.factor, E.S.R. and C reactive proteine. So i advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
