Following a period of treadmill running, I suffered severe pain in my right big toe. There is no redness or swelling and I can bend the toe normally without pain. Everyday walking is fine regardless of the type of shoe I wear. However, come the evening, I get a 'fizzing' sensation and acute shooting pain in the toe. There is no pain on the top of my foot or ankle. The pain continues throughout the night, often keeping me awake with varying intensity. I have had u/s and there was no specific damage. I have tried ice packs and Ibuprofen gel to no avail. This has been intermittent for three years now. When it eases, things are fine but when it rears its ugly head, the pain during the night is maddening. Any suggestions ??
