you may have a bone spur or bunion. Should be evaluated by a foot doctor.

Sounds like poor circulation.  You might want to ask your doctor.  I think poor circulation in your feet can be a sign a diabetes.

I have one toe that does the same thing constantly, doesn't hurt though. It could be that there are ligaments slightly out of place and the sound that you hear is them moving around. If it bothers you ask your dr. next time you go in.  I don't think that there is anything that you can do to prevent it, but I'm not a Dr., so I could be wrong.  Good Luck!

check with your doctor to see if there is any obvious issues, they can then refer you to a specialist. get your feet (gait) checked out to see if it may be something with the way you walk that's throwing something off. it also depends whether the pain is caused by a chronic problem or if u just hurt it and it never healed properly. Furthermore it also depends on whether its a bone-joint issue or if its a muscle issue.

Yep. sounds like you may have some arthritic changes in your foot/feet.  I know about foot pain becasue I have it often.  I've noticed that eating a lot of calcium or taking calcium supplements on a regular basis helps.  Esp. given the fact that you've just been pregnant, your body may be "leeching" calcium... Try this along with vitamin c (oj) to help you digest the calcium!

It could either be a condition called meralgia paresthetica, which I didn't think would move down to the foot, or a lumbar disk prolapse which could indeed cause the symptoms in the foot. Go see an orthopedic doctor.

Maybe the shoes you are wearing are not giving you proper support.  Try insoles with arch support, or go see a podiatrist.

You should make an appointment with your doctor to have it looked at.\n\nIt could be from something as harmless as a blunt trauma to the toe, which often takes a while to work itself out and effect the nails.\n\nBut it could also be a symptom of some more serious problem or fungus.

Sounds like a neuropathy (nerve impingement).  I have the same thing and it is a diabetic neuropathy.  I know, it does drive you crazy.  I sometime put pressure on it with my other foot or massage it and it helps a little.

You may have broken your toe.  I've broke that toe three times!\n\nTape that toe to the toe next to it.  That's all they do if it is broken.  That will help with the pain, but it will be sore for a few days.\n\nIf your foot stays sore, you may have broken a bone in it, you'll need a doctor to X-ray that.

I'm not sure exactly what the problem is but I will give you some info I found that you can pick through.  I hope it helps!\nIn general, the term "hammer toe" describes a buckling of any of the toe joints. Joints at the end or middle of the toe, as well as the joint near the ball of the foot, may be affected. Toe joints usually curl because of a muscle imbalance or tight tendons. Hammer toes vary in severity and in the number of joints and toes involved.\n\nTypes of Hammer Toes\nHammer toes may be flexible or rigid, depending on the joint's ability to move. A flexible joint may become more rigid as you age.The doctor will examine all your toes, testing whether or not buckled joints can be moved. Your feet will also be checked for any skin changes. Corns (a buildup of dead skin cells) often form between curled toes or on top of buckled joints where shoes rub. If irritated, corns may turn into open wounds and become infected.If your symptoms are mild, changing shoes may be all the treatment you need. If your symptoms are severe, surgery may be needed. The type of procedure often depends on whether your toe joints are flexible or rigid.\n\nUnfortunately, from what I read, it sounds like the only treatment is surgery (since you said it wasn't her shoes).  Good luck!

If your certain your not diabetic than it is time to see a Dr. and get a referal to a specialist.\nWhat you describe suggests reduced circulation and there are many conditions that this symptom can be attributed to.\n\nNeuropathy or the pain from it responds well to a med called Neurontin.\nBut I am guessing you have been treated since you seem to know the name of your condition?\n\nThis could be anything from wearing tight heels to a vascular/heart condition.\nPlease pursue this with your doctor.

It is a good possibility that you either have bad arches or your shoes might not fit correctly.  I have much experience with my feet, I use to be a track runner and have large feet 13M.  I recommend finding arch supports and/or shoes that are a little loose...not excessive.  It seems that maybe your toes are getting smashed in your shoes.  Please wear the appropriate running shoes...ventilation.

If you are having a bad pain in your foot, that means that the nerves there are responding to stimuli. Go see a doctor and ask him. There's a far, far, far outside chance that you could be getting feeling back

You may have some nerve damage. However, in the meantime...until you get back home, just make sure you keep your feet covered so you don't bang your toe. \nYou can also try taking B Complex 100. The B vitamins help repair nerve damage while allowing you to handle more stress, too.\nTry wearing different shoes for a while & see if you notice a difference.

Sounds like plantar fasciitis.  May be related to poor circulation, or poor fitting/supporting footwear.  If you don't smoke or have a problem with GI bleeding or PUD or NSAIDS, or have other co-morbities, you might want to try using ibuprofen for pain.  You might also want to discuss this problem with your primary care doctor.
