Brief Answer:
painkillers & rest for pain reduction.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for using HCM.
can understand your concern.
Your pain looks more so with related to strain,hyper-use, (as as an athlete),the appearance of cysts, spurs are relatively due to that or due to overweight or ill-fitting footwear, sometimes the spur or the extra-bony structure is insignificant.
some simple pain relieving measures which you can follow:
1.Please see to that you do not stand for long hours, especially in one constant position.
2.keep both your ankles in elevated position at least for 30 ` when you are resting.
3.Use of anklet or crepe-bandage over the foot including the ankle in figure of 8 will reduce the pain & blood circulation.
4.local application of cold compression & topical pain killers will give you timely relief.
5.Pain killers with combination of tramadol (mild opiod prescription medicine) + paracetomol (ultracet) added with pregablin(prescription medicine) will give you good pain relief.
I would suggest you to get tested with serum calcium, uric acid, parathormone levels added with sugar levels, thyroid profile, haemoglobin & vitamin d3 levels.
These tests will rule out for the specific problems.
Wishing you good health.
All the best, take care.

Sorry for the spelling,
My two big toes hurt at the joints making it difficult to walk . I am not over weight,
When I am resting on the couch sitting or laying down my feet throb and ache without even standing on them.
I tested a positive negative for auto immune about three months ago, I didn't know if that meant it comes and goes in regards to arthritis .
Thanks
Jen

Brief Answer:
please check out with your uric acid levels
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for following up with hcm.
Pain in the big toes is most of the time specific for gouty arthritis, that's why I was suggesting you for serum uric acid levels.
Throbbing pains on resting can be due to peripheral neuropathy--in alterations with thyroid,calcium,vitamind3 and sugar levels.
Positive/negative tests for auto immune problems sometimes vary with infections, especially viral,hormonal imbalances ,prolonged illness,diabetics, stress,last being false positive tests or technical errors.
Methyl cobalamine supplements,added with ultracet(paracetomol+Tramadol) with gabapentin or pregablin will help in pain control and burning sensation.
You can repeat your autoimmune tests once again after 6 weeks,changing the lab.
Hope I have answered your question.
Wishing you good health and speedy recovery.
All the best,take care.
