Over the last week I developed pain in the joint of my big toe. For the first few days it came and went, I could even run on it without pain but it would spontaneously hurt while sitting down. Now I can't put any weight on the inside of my foot because of the pain. I'm thinking turf toe, can't find anything that would lead me to believe it is a bunion. Any other possibilities? Anybody have similar experiences? What is the healing time? |

New Balance shoes. Went to a running store, got fitted, stride analysis, tried about 8 pair on and the whole 9 yards. (I've run in sucky shoes and ended up with blisters everywhere  , I'm not volunteering for that again. I don't think it is the shoes)

Could be gout. As I just had the joy of passing my first kidney stone yesterday, (a 2mm bundle of joy ) I shall be requesting the my doctor add one more test to my next blood test. I suspect the stone was due to dehydaration as I ran 3 miles and was dressed too warm for it (lots of sweating), then gave blood, and didn't really ever recover hydration wise the day before I got the stone. My office is freezing cold so you don't ever think to drink anything. I don't have any of the risk factors for gout as I'm not obese, I don't drink, and I have low blood pressure. I will get tested for it anyway. |
Welcome to the wonderful world of kidney stones! I passed my first this summer. 4mm at the widest. Could have sworn it was about 4 inches. |

If it's not an injury but came on without a noticeable cause, it could be this.. pain in the joint of the big toe. How old are you? This starts to appear in the 30's. It's a form of arthritis that creates a bone spur. Hallux Rigidus |
