What Causes Toe Pain?
Toe pain can result from inflammation, infection, pressure, structural problems, arthritis, injury, or underlying medical conditions. Common causes include bunions, hammertoes, arthritis, and ingrown toenails.

Big Toe Pain

A COMMON CAUSE OF TOE PAIN
Bunion Pain
A bunion is a bony prominence that forms at the base of the big toe when the joint becomes misaligned. As the big toe gradually shifts toward the smaller toes, it can cause pain, swelling, pressure in shoes, and difficulty walking. Bunions may worsen over time without proper treatment.

KNOW WHEN TO GET HELP
When Should I See Boca Raton Foot & Ankle Specialists for Toe Pain?
You should see Dr. Immler if toe pain persists, worsens, or begins interfering with walking, exercise, or daily activities. Evaluation is also recommended for recurrent pain, swelling, stiffness, numbness, or changes in the shape or appearance of the toe. Seek prompt care after a significant injury, or if the toe becomes severely swollen, red, warm, deformed, or difficult to move. Early treatment can help identify the cause and prevent the problem from becoming more serious.
