Left Big Toe...
26 Answers
Swollen, with the skin red and slightly shiny, and very painful. I'd been working in the garden and initially thought I'd injured my back and the sore toe was a symptom of my sciatica returning. But the inflamed look doesn't seem to be something that comes with sciatica.
Apart from taking things easy, and taking pain killers, any suggestions?

Still could be either acute arthritis or gout, but my money is on gout. Treatment the same.

I don't usually post pictures of my extremities on the new but thought this might help with a diagnosis.
Please excuse the colour of the feet, they haven't had their weekly wash.
