Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. I have been having pain in the nerve that runs from my big toe into my instep. It started as an irritation beneath the toe that felt like a pebble in my slipper. Never finding a pebble, I began to think there was something wrong with the toe. Over the last week or so, as I walk the pain has increased and lengthened into the instep area. It can be excruciating. When I am off my feet, the pain subsides. Ice has helped, also, at those times. But, again, when I walk or do normal chores around the house, the nerve flares up again and can be very intense.
