Suggest Remedy For Pain In Foot
HI,I have had some pain in my foot,but have had two different spots so I thought nothing of it, as im in sports. I figured as long as I m playing i will have some pain. I am off season now and the one area hurts like crazy. So on my big toe joint, not the ball joint, I have had this pain. I thought it was joint pain due to skating. With further attention, it looks like there is a lump under the skin on the left side of the joint but on the top of my toe, not the side. It is near the bottom left corner of my big toe nailbed. There is no open sore or dry skin. but it seems inflammed which is causing pain. It is pain to touch and itchy. Anti Inflammatorys ease the pain, but Im having to take 2 Naproxen, at a time, which I think is too much. Do you know what this is? Thank you so much.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
According to your description , pain over your foot seems to be inflammatory in nature. It could be an acute attack of gout.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
