Sharp pain in second and third toe

Refer yourself/request GP referral to NHS Podiatry. They are more likely to identify the reason for your pain and to advise on a treatment/management plan.

I have pain in my middle toe. I use a toe wrap/tube. Bought from Amazon. Helps enormously.

Could be gout! I have arthritis and occassionaly get a gout attack sharp stabbing pain usually starts at night...agony..usually big toe but was 2nd toe on last flare up. Seeyour GP

See a podiatrist asap

I’ve had Morton’s neuroma in both feet for many years. I’d say an electric shock can be an apt description of it. Maybe don’t rule it out without further investigation.

Hi, I’d try a podiatrist. They are very good at checking the alignment of foot and if necessary getting you orthotics which can relieve the pain.

Sounds like gout to me.

Did your Doctor not consider this as a possibility?

(You'll have to cut down on the fillet steaks, profiteroles and Brandy, if it is!!!).

I had this and developed hammer toe!

Fibromyalgia gives electric shock type pain that comes from nowhere, can start in just one place

Could be gout. Look up the symptoms on an online symptom checker and compare so you have a bit of information when discussing with your physician. Do some massage of the digits or some warm compresses. Lastly, you could take a Naproxen to see if pain subsides. Good luck! Not meant to be medical advice. Always rely on medical provider for treatment.

Are you diabetic? Nerve pain!

Could be a stress reaction in the metatarsal. Not full fracture. Just overload. Rest, ice, better insoles. GP is right to start with physio. They'll check gait and footwear.

If they red or swollen or both its probably arthritis can be excrutiating in toes and fingers.

Sounds like arthritis

Doctor just suggested physio which I don’t think will help. I’ve had no change of footwear. It happens very suddenly with no warning and is I tensely painful. It seems so difficult to get a referral to a hospital nowadays.

A trip to the drs maybe?

I mean , the only thing I can think of

Sorry Sallywally - the only think of is - shoes/sandals. Are you using a new pair ?
Hope you get some answers …
