Suggest Treatment For Sore Joint On Middle Toe

FOR WEEKS I HAVE HAD A VERY SORE JOINT ON MY MIDDLE TOE WHERE IT MEETS THE BALL OF THE FOOT. IF I WEAR MORE SUPPORTING SHOES/BOOTS IT S BETTER FOR WALKING BUT WHEN I TAKE THEM OFF THE PAIN IS UNBEARABLE WHICH REDUCES ME TO TEARS. THE CLOSEST I CAN DESCRIBE, IS WHEN YOUR FINGERS ARE REALLY COLD AND THEY START TO HEAT UP AND THE PAIN SHOTS UP THE ARM IT IS A BIT LIKE THAT BUT A LOT WORSE AND IT CAN LAST FOR AGES AND PAIN KILLERS DO NOT HELP. HELP PLEASE I CAN T TAKE MUCH MORE. cHOP MY TOE OFF.

Hi,

That is a very common inflammation of the toe joint. Change your foot wear. Go for a more softer sole. Soak your feet in a tub filled with warm water for about five minutes. Follow it up immediately dipping your feet in ice cold water for about three minutes. Repeat again, five minutes hot and three minutes cold. If you can visit a nearby physiotherapy center for ultrasonic treatment, it would work wonders. No need to chop your toe off!

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

Regards,
