Swelling, Painful Big Toe On Right Foot, Increased Pain With Walking. Any Thoughts?
Hi, I woke with a painful big toe on my right foot. Over the last couple of days it has swelled up. I haven't hurt it due to an injury, just woke up with pain. The pain is warm and is not around the toe nail. I can press my toe, squeeze it and all's good. However when I walk the pain is increased. If I wear shoes then the pain is less.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you have are likely to be due to an infection or an inflammation in the area. This can be related to gout also. A direct examination is needed for proper diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
