The joint part of my big toe hurts. It makes me limp. Can’t fully raise my right toe, or squeeze fully. It sometimes hurts a bit like it’s broken. I did not hit it anywhere. It started slowly yesterday. And I walked quite a bit yesterday.
No problem on my left foot.
I’m using new shoes after like 6 years. This shoe (winter boot) puts more pressure on my foot. I’m also walking more than usual.
Ps I’m not asking for medical advice :)
I hate to take a break from traveling because all my bad habits come back when I take a break. It happened last month and it was genuinely horrible.
Adding images (I have pes planus)
Probably a combination of your pes planus + new boots + increase in walking.
Definitely rest. Does the pain improve with rest? And get worse with activity?
