sharp intenese pain in second toe on left foot. feels like someone is stabbing it. it started aprox. 2 weeks ago. did not stub it. but when the pain hits i have to grab it. no matter sitting or standing, or even laying down. what can cause this?

Hi Char,
Read my section on Mortons neuroma and see if that sounds like your symptoms. If so, a visit to a local podiatrist would be indicated.

Pain in various toes... at different times
by: NancyA

I also have had pain in various toes, like someone is stabbing the tips of my toes. I have had high uric acid levels in the past which turned to be gout, I took 2 medicines and the pain gradually went away. After my last lab result, my rheumatologist decided I didn't have it after all, took me off the meds and now I have the pain back again. NEW DOCTOR and hopefully another uric acid test!!!

Sharp pain in second Toe
by: G

This comment is directed mostly to Char. I have exactly that issue. It just started a week ago before I hurt my back 4 or 5 days ago jogging on the treadmill. I never have had any back issues! My back pain this past week was severe. I am thinking the sharp sudden attack of my left second toe at random times is related to something that has gone on with my back after reading some stuff online. Have you found out anything further? I am concerned, as the pain is so intense, but thankfully brief. It is so strange the pain is only in that second and maybe third toe. Any help understanding this... would be so appreciated.

HI, I had exactly the same symptoms years ago for a few months. I visited the gp who wanted ti refer me to a mental pain clinic, suggesting my toe was sending wrong messages to brain.Needless to say i never went back. That was about ten years ago and it stopped for years. but recently started again. If you get any answers let me know

Sharp pain in second toe, both feet
by: Anonymous

Over the past couple of weeks I have experienced sudden sharp pain in my second toe, sometimes lasting only seconds, and sometimes lasting up to 20 minutes or so. It is mostly on the right foot but sometimes occurs on the second toe of the left foot as well. It is a stabbing pain, but when I rub the area it does not feel tender. There is no swelling, discoloration, soreness, etc. The pain occurs every day, throughout the day and night. I have not mentioned it to anyone for fear they will think I'm crazy! I am not taking any new medication, do not wear high heels, and have not injured my feet. Any ideas or suggestions>
