I used to suffer a lot with my Big toe left foot with Pain, I was revered to a podiatrist and they made me an insole to go in my shoes this never worke, still had the pain until I started taken Diclofenic 3 times a day all the pain has gone and I can walk 5 -10 miles pain free I hope this helps.

I've been having a lot of pain in my big toes and it does hurt like hell, I'm going to see my Rhuematologists in a couple of weeks and then I can discuss it with them. Wow PB 5 or 10 miles, that sounds really good, I couldn't walk that far before hand lol.

I have a lot of pain in all toes and balls of my feet but big toes are particularly bad at the moment. On a good day I can walk okay although I have pain in my feet all the time, but on a bad day I just hobble. But if the pain is only in your big toe and nowhere else, are you sure that you don't have gout which is a buildup of uric acid in the joint. Clemmie

I will ask my doctor about gout when I see him thanks for the reply janet

Hi , ye same problems as you , I am getting the shoe splints next week , so here's hoping they help like Paul's .

Hi, my first thought was gout as well, my RA is under control but it took me a while to work out that the pain in my toe like you describe was irritated by diet, always bad at Xmas when I ate turkey and drank white wine, found out foods high in purine can set it off. But that's me though, I notice if I eat grapes, beet root my toes are in agony! Strange but thought it worth mentioning.
