What Causes Sharp Pain In The Medial Side Of The Great Toe?

I experienced a sudden shocking pain in the medial portion of my large toe, not in the joint, on the pad beside the nail. It continues with sudden jabbing, nervy type pain. I can t see a bite anywhere (I assumed I had been bitten) but it s not getting better. No particular redness or swelling.

It could be a Muscle spasm. nerve compression, infection, inflammation or gout
