Do you have big toe pain or near it?

Pain near the big toe, particularly as you walk or run, can have a number of different causes, the most likely are hallux limitus and rigidus which are essentially the jamming of the big toe against the foot that leads to inflammation, swelling, and pain. Other next most likely cause is a bunion - it forms a big bump on the inside of the foot as well as decreasing motion within the join. Other suspect cause is gout  - foot pain near the big toe if the joint is extremely red hot and swollen without any injury or obvious cause. If the area underneath the toe is sore especially after a great deal of running, suspect a sesamoid fracture or sesamoiditis.
