Question 1

I'm having some pretty intense pain in the lower side tips of my toe joints, and it's really strange because there's no swelling at all. It seems to flare up every time I start walking after resting, especially first thing in the morning. What could be causing this? Do you have any insights or suggestions on what I should do?

Accepted Answer

This type of pain in the feet fingers and joints, especially when starting to walk after rest, could be due to a condition called plantar fasciitis. To help relieve the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) or naproxen (e.g., Aleve) to reduce inflammation and pain. Additionally, you can also try stretching exercises for the feet and calves, wearing supportive shoes with cushioned insoles, and using orthotic inserts to provide better arch support. If the pain persists, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
