What Is The Best Treatment For The Pain In The Toe Joint?
I have had sudden onset pain in my right foot in the joint on my toe next to the big toe... just got up to walk and it was so sore that I’m walking with limp. I don’t drink not over weight; any suggestions I’ve taken Aleve and now icing area: pain radiates from base of toe thru bottom of foot.Thx cbeeman

Hi,
Probably you have stress Fracture of 2nd or 3rd metatarsal. I suggest you get X-ray of the right foot to see the fracture if possible. Sometimes the fracture is not visible and appears only on bone scan or MRI. In the meantime continue Aleve and use a foot splint. Do not walk much.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel
