What Causes Intermittent Burning Pain In The Big Toe?

I have a burning pain in my big toe that comes and goes like turning a light on and off . It only lasts a few seconds then stops but has been happening on and off for the past 6 months . My dr had me get X-rays and they came back fine ? What could this pain be and how do i stop it ? I don t think its gout as my dr looked at it and rules that out

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
This is possible circulation problems and you need to do Doppler ultrasound or angiography to rule out possible atherosclerosis of legs. Then it can be treated with medication or surgical intervention.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
