Sharp Pain, Stiffness In Toe. Pain Radiating To Leg. Cause?
I have been experiencing sharp ridged pain in my right toe which becomes stiff & arches up & pain goes up my leg @2:30 AM I thought it could be a mineral imbalance then @ 4 am the right toe the same. I can't rub & the toe is up right & stiff. Drank some magnesium powder & minerals salts.
What could be causing this??
Thank You
