What Causes Toe Pain And Chest Discomfort While Suffering From Diabetes?
tHANK YOU. I AM 62, diabetic, hbp, I take 200 mg allopurinol per day for gout. My big toe has been very painful, however it is not in the joint and it is not warm to touch. I have had some chest discomfort and jaw tightness and some difficulty swallowing. I was wondering if the toe pain is related to gout or heart?

Hello,
It could be an early sign of arthritis or peripheral neuropathy.
Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. A detailed evaluation is required to find out the exact cause.
As of now, you can take drugs like gabapentin for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
