Doctor : Hi
Doctor : How can I help you?
User : Hi, evertime I apply pressure to my large toe I feel an acute sense of pain. I have had this problem for three or four months now, somedays it is more painful than others. (I can walk and run perfectly fine, without any pain, but if I lean my entire body weight on my left toe I feel this acute pain) It is not agonising, but still slightly painful. I am 24 years of age, I do not drink or smoke, I eat healthly, take regular exercise, I am not overweight and do not have any other health problems. What do you sugest it could be? Thanks, AAAAAAA
Doctor : Let me read
Doctor : Are you a player
Doctor : or a sports person?
User : I lift weights, but I have been doing for 4 years
Doctor : Do you remember any injury previously to the great toe?
User : No, just one day I woke up and felt this pain, but don't remember injuring it
Doctor : Do you feel the pain when you press with your fingers
User : yes I do, if I bend it with my fingers
Doctor : Do you wear proper foot wear to the leg, Is it that your great toe is compressed with a wrong foot wear?
Doctor : Did you try to change your foot wear?
User : yes it is my big toe I wear different shoes
Doctor : What is the severity of the pain on a scale of 1 to 10
Doctor : 1 being the least
User : it's bearable, somedays worse than others but I would say 5-6
Doctor : What is yoru age?
User : 24
Doctor : With no obvious injury, the first common cause that I could think of at this age is improper foot wear and improper foot care
User : so it's unlikely to be gout or diabetes?
Doctor : Very unlikely
Doctor : as Gout has the severity of more than 7
Doctor : and Diabetes is less likely at this age
Doctor : and very uncommon to be presented as great toe pain
Doctor : I suggest you to choose the best and most comfortable foot wear for 15 days
Doctor : and notice the severity
Doctor : if it is trying to reduce
