Suggest Remedy For Pain In Big Toe Adjacent To The Pad Of Foot

I am a 67 year old diabetic. Tonight, I developed pain in the base of my big toe adjacent to the pad of my foot. It burns slightly and hurts upon standing. I just moved here and do not have a doctor as yet. I have made an appointment with Cleveland Clinic for September. Do I need to soak my foot In something? I took a couple of Advil.Sorry, I didn t realize that this was a meat market. It said Free on the site.

Hi,

Cannot say in your particular case. there are several possibilities. Diabetics are prone to have an infection (it would most likely look infected) and fractures (it might not seem fractured). Diabetics can have nerve damage in the foot but this is at the tip and constant and feels like a nerve and it is usually BOTH feet. Diabetics can have gout. It can be like this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
