Pinky Toe Pain Treatment | Seattle Podiatrist

[@barbaramoody2220]

Thank you so much for this video. I had been suffering pain in my little toe for about 2 months. Too stubborn to go to a doctor I googled my symptoms and found you. I ordered the toe separators and 5 days later they arrived. Almost immediately the pain was gone. I couldn't believe this little piece of rubber could take away a pain so intense I thought my toe was falling off, felt like the toe had a rubberband ever-tightening at the base. I can walk without limping. Heck - I can walk period. Thank you.

[@trevondaholder2554]

Although this video was done years ago, I am so extremely happy I found it. No one even my doctor understood the horrible shooting pain I suffer from the corn or blister between and under my pinky toes so when this video hit on that symptom I knew I had finally found a place to go to help with treatment and advice. Thank you

[@syl6090]

I knew there was a reason for this pain and it makes perfect sense. I made an appointment to see a foot doctor, but now after watching this I might cancel my appointment and try this first. Thanks for the info.

[@staceepayne8787]

Thank God for you! Was about to cut my little toe off!

Absolutely, the little toe cushion didn't ease pain though. Did have shoe stretched, didn't ease pain either, will try different pad. Thanks

[@TrulyStormy]

Thank you very much for this video. I have been searching for months about the pain I am having on my little toe and finally this video came up. It feels like a piece of glass is under the skin and sometimes it feels like my toe is on fire, as if a lighter or match was being held under it. I am going to try that outer toe wedge. Thank you ;)

[@gracecotton9819]

Susan I have only just come across this video, and working my way through the comments. Yours interested me because of the 'piece of glass' feeling. This sounds to me as if it could be oxalates causing the stabbing. These are tiny shards of crystals caused by too much oxalate food being eaten. Do hope this reaches you, after four years.

[@TrulyStormy]

@@gracecotton9819 Thank you for the new information. I am going to look into this. I had since gone to a podiatrist and he was giving me shots in the toe. I had to stop seeing him because the pain was too much every visit. I still have pain in the toe but not as often. Thank you again for the reply

[@kylepiggins3064]

Just started to have this after a 10 hour drive, gotta admit the shoes weren't the best support, Definitely going to attend this asap!

[@Ingrid0410]

Great to find you! I've had a burning reddened swollen pinky toe now for almost a week! It doesn't turn it towards my 4th toe though. I've had gout in my big toe before, do you think it could be gout? I just woke up with it one morning about a week ago. Been drinking apple cider vinegar couple times a day, which I've heard is great for gout, to no avail. Maybe it takes longer to go away! Any thoughts? It bothers me because I can only wear flip flops with this pain!!!!

[@JCP88889]

the first it was a little ashamed to look this up but I'm so glad I landed on your channel because my toe my small toe is red and it looks it looks like a bubble and I don't think it really rubs over to the other toe to the to the fourth toe but I want to find something you know like a cushion for it and it's just straighten it out because it really bothers me and I was such an a beautiful idea but what she said to make sure they get a shoe that's round around the big around the small toe so that's what I'm going to do and it's my right foot and now my left foot wants to act up on me but I thank you so much and you have a blessed one but I want to know is there anywhere to go to get a discounted to get that stuff for my the cushion things straightened things remote for my small toes do I need to go to Amazon or just you know is there a recommendation

[@MsCjmaxi]

Wondering why my little toes are turning on it's side. Is this from wearing flip flops? Also developing a taylor's bunion.

[@lamrof]

I made the little pad myself now that I know what the issue is. I did change the flip flop that caused it and that helped too.

I just stubbed my toe on a chair in my room and now my pinky toe is hurting when I walk and I wanna be sure it’s not broken

[@fortunefortune6219]

This brilliant I have problem with my pinky toe I hit my foot on the chair that was in April 2016 . As it was summer I had open toes shoes now that it is a bit cooler wearing close toe shoe does hurt when a bit of pressure is on it . I went to see my doctor today they said it is unlikely that is fractured because is more the tip of the toe which is painful when moving the toes upwards and from the inside way out those to manoeuvre are pain full , downwards is fine . My doctor suggested that I tie my pinky toe and use some deep heat . What can I do any suggestion will be appreciated . Thank you

[@Footankle]

This is one of those things that is difficult to evaluate online. Is there any chance you can see a doctor who is a foot specialist. They will be able to figure out the problem in a couple seconds most likely. It could be the bone, the toenail, a corn.....a number of things can cause that type of pain.

I banged my pinky toe on my right foot a while back, and it is swelling on the side, and I do feel some slight pain when it moves now and then. Being diabetic is part of the issue, and I just wonder if I ended up temporarily hurting it, or breaking it or something??

[@Footankle]

No way to know without an exam and xray

[@gracecotton9819]

Bron Youngblood Interesting that you said being diabetic is part of the issue. How so? An earlier poster mentioned insulin resistance being a cause of this toe problem. Would you agree with this? Hope that your toe is better by now, anyway.

[@BryonYoungblood]

@@gracecotton9819 Well I figured it may be the cause because of issues with blood flow now and then, even as I engage in regular exercise by doing a lot of walking. But yeah, it’s much better now

I been looking for bout a year for this i believe strongly that this is my problem. i been to a foot doctor and he just say its information on the bone. Just a brief history i worked on concert at both of my jobs. In which i did 7days a week i have cut it down to 5 to 5 and a half. Because doctor said i have to lighten up on my walking. and it still hurt. but i have see how my little toe is doing just this i now believe without a doubt this is my problem so my question is will this set mt tow back.

[@Footankle]

You really should see a doctors who specializes in foot problems. Find a good podiatrist in your area. You will find that they will usually find a solution for you very quickly.

[@willmonlr]

i will make a another appointment. should i ask bout this. or just tell him about the pain and where it is?

[@magicalgoosedaddy3266]

i was dancing and i jumped then when i landed,the whole corner of that pinkir part made a sound..Is that dislocation or broken foot???please help me

[@Footankle]

Hi Alteya - There is really not way to know if there was a break or dislocation without x-rays. In the meantime I recommend treating it as if it were broken. That way it will be protected just in case. You can learn more about treating broken toes here: www.footankle.com/injuries-foot-ankle/toe-fractures/

what are the exercise for straighting the baby toe?

[@Footankle]

There is no evidence that exercises will straighten a curled toe. Here is detailed information on treatment: www.footankle.com/toe-conditions/hammertoes/

[@28fabrice]

Typical advice from a Doctor Most feet problems are liver damage due to insulin resistance syndrome and the excessive nitrogen coming out of extremities such as feet in estrogen inbalance. Years of eating sugar, alcohol,high glycemic index carbs and very little vegetables especially cruciferous which bring enzymes and antioxidants. You'll be wearing those things for the rest of your life and even if you have the operation it's likely to come back if your food intake isn't changed.

[@Footankle]

Ok. Where do I start. First, I agree absolutely 100% on the horrible health toll related to sugar intake and high carb diets. Over half of the United States population is now insulin resistant from the misguided focus on low-fat and high carb over the last 30 - 40 years. Also, there are many foot issues related to this including diabetic neuropathy and neuropathic wounds. Given that, there is no evidence that the musculoskeletal issues I am discussing here are related to diet. There are well-understood and researched biomechanical issues that lead to these changes.

What about pinky toe numbness? How can I fix that?

[@Footankle]

There are a number of causes of pinky toe numbness. Often it is due to pressure on one or more of the nerves going to the pinky toe. You should find a good podiatrist in your area who can diagnose what nerve is involved and advise you on how to reduce pressure on it. There are also other issues that should be evaluated. For example, some toe numbness can be due to a back problem. In summary, an exam needs to be performed and a diagnosis made before a good recommendation on treatment can be made.
