What Causes Pain In Toes?
I have intermittent pain in both big toes. Feels like needles when it hurts. Haven t hurt my feet. The nails both have a dark spot on them. As the nails have been growing I cut them back, but the nail stays unattached to the underlying skin and the darker part hasn t gone away. This has been going on for about 8 months,

Hi.
As per your case history you are such sensation due to vitamin b12 deficiency.
My treatment advice is -
1. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk.
2. Take a vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
3. Other treatment options are oral gabapentin, injectable vitamin b12 given only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
