What are the causes of toe pain

In life, many of our friends may find that their toes are painful. Some people think that they don’t care about it, but this is not a good idea. There must be a reason for the pain in the toes. There may be a problem with the toe joints, so everyone must take it seriously.

Cause Analysis

1. Standing or walking for a long time will aggravate ligament damage, causing the onset of the disease or accelerating the progression of the disease.

2. Frequently wearing pointed shoes or high-heeled shoes: The front part of the pointed shoe is triangular, forcing the front of the foot to be squeezed into a narrow triangular area. In addition, the upper is made of leather and has no elasticity, so the big toe is forced to turn outward and the little toe to turn inward. High heels increase the pressure on the feet and over-stretch the ligaments in the joints, resulting in hallux valgus.

3. Genetic factors: About half of the patients have genetic factors. Although the occurrence of hallux valgus is related to inappropriate shoes, it is mainly caused by certain defects in the bones and ligaments that make up the foot. Standing or walking for a long time will aggravate ligament damage, causing the onset of the disease or accelerating the progression of the disease.

4. Gout: Big toe pain is a typical symptom of gout in the early stages, so we need to take active preventive measures.
