What is the cause of big toe pain

In fact, foot bones are also very important for people. When we walk too much, we will feel foot pain. At this time, the feet may be swollen. Therefore, soaking feet before going to bed at night is not only conducive to rest, but also has many benefits to the body. Some people may feel big foot bone pain, and sometimes even the pain will affect walking. So what is the cause of big foot bone pain?

The main cause of big toe pain is big toe disease. The main symptoms of big toe deformity are deformity and pain. The severity of foot pain is not proportional to the degree of deformity. Sometimes the big toe deformity is severe but the pain is not obvious. However, most patients with severe deformities will experience varying degrees of big toe pain.

The main reason for big toe pain is that the protruding part of the metatarsal head is squeezed and rubbed by the shoe upper for a long time, which causes local skin thickening and bone hyperplasia, and may cause bunion under the skin, causing redness, swelling and pain. In addition, the second toe protrudes toward the instep, and frequent friction may cause problems such as corns, which can also cause pain.

In the early stages of bunion disease, many people only experience changes in shape without any other adverse factors. However, as the disease progresses, pain and other related symptoms will gradually appear, which will attract the patient's attention. The reasons for big toe pain are as follows.

First of all, the typical symptom of bunion is a high bulge on the inner side of the big toe bone. If the shoes chosen at this time are not suitable, long-term squeezing or friction on the metatarsal bulge will cause bunion, which will cause pain.

Secondly, the big toe bone causes metatarsalgia. This is because the weight-bearing function of the big toe decreases as the disease progresses, which increases the pressure on the second and third toes, causing calluses under the metatarsal heads, and then transferred toe pain will occur.

Correspondingly, diseases such as osteoarthritis of the big toe joint, necrosis of the second metatarsal head, and interdigital neuroma can also cause pain.

Do you know the above summary of the causes of big toe pain? There are many reasons for big toe pain. I hope that patients will go to a large hospital to get a good check-up for big toe pain to avoid misdiagnosis and mistreatment caused by misunderstandings in the examination, which will further affect their big toe. In addition, when treating bunion, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet.
