Are you experiencing a toothache-type within the big toe joint.  Sometimes the pain worsens with high-heeled shoes and increased levels of activity.  The toe joint may be enlarged with reduced movement of the toe joint when compared to the other toes.
An insole (sometimes called an orthotic) that extends under the big toe will restrict the movement and in effect splint the toe joint and relieve the pain.   Many patients say this treatment is ''magic'' and its all available here at the clinic. Refer to xx page where you can get an idea of the type of orthotics available to correct your problems.
