Turf Toe question?

Has anyone ever had it?

Getting sharp pains at times in my big toe from exerting a certain amount of pressure on it. It doesnt always hurt but from time to time?

Not sure what it is?

Yep , ingrown toe nail. Foot Dr. $20.00 .

dont wait.

you think?

ive had it off and on for a few months now...and it seems to be coming from the deep tissue, its not like a razor knife pain, its more like a shooting pain

Crus, Ive had the same thing in my big toe for quite a few years. The pain is brutally intense when it hits, and it comes from me doing nothing more than walking, with or without shoes. Crazy part is that right after I get one of these sharp pains, I can not duplicate it by manipulating the toe, walking, running, or anything else. No reason for when it hits, or why ... it just does.

IMO, something just hits a nerve ending wrong.

Hail......

That sounds like gout.  GL

not more than the normal person no?

do young people get gout? Im not overly familiar with it...

sometimes ill go a few weeks without any pain...and its just a quick "OH crap" and i sorta limp...i knew a guy with gout and he couldnt even walk..it was like super bad...i can walk and all that it just once in a bit (once every week or two) i tweak something and it hurts for a quick min.

This is what I read regarding gout symptoms and the only that applies is that it is my big toe...its not tender at all its really just a quick sharp pain. the rest arent even close.

• Warmth, pain, swelling, and extreme tenderness in a joint, usually a big toe joint . This symptom is called podagra.
• Pain that starts during the night and is so intense that even light pressure from a sheet is intolerable.
• Rapid increase in discomfort, lasting for some hours of the night and then easing during the next few days.
• As the gout attack subsides, the skin around the affected joint may peel and feel itchy.

Other symptoms may include:

• Very red or purplish skin around the affected joint, which may appear to be infected.
• Fever.
• Limited movement in the affected joint.

Symptoms of gout vary.

• Symptoms may occur after an illness or surgery.
• Some people may not experience gout as many painful attacks but rather develop chronic gout. Chronic gout in older adults may be less painful and can be confused with other forms of arthritis.
• Gout may first appear as nodules (tophi) on the hands, elbows, or ears. There may be no classic symptoms of a gout attack.

don't obese people primarily get gout ????
