Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.
It sounds like you might have had an attack of gout. this usually starts with a very painful big toe.
The anti-inflammatory medication that you took probably help alleviate some of the symptoms. You might benefit from some stronger anti-inflammatory medication that can be provided by your doctor.
I think it would be reasonable for you to visit with your doctor for a good physical examination and also to design a therapeutic plan to help you feel better.
regarding the tingling this is somewhat unusual which is why I think you should see your doctor to make sure this is not representative of some other problem.
Sincerely,
Dr. Galamaga
