I have been having big toe pain for the past few months. It sucks to run or walk long distances. I use active toes in bjj and that hurts it too. I just live with the pain. I still do it but it hurts.
I've been icing it and doing other things to help it out.
So I finally went to the podiatrist. My big toe has a torn tendon. The way he described it as a torn acl. It's loose the way a knee would be loose if the acl is torn. There is no real treatment for it. They don't operate on toes. I just have to tape, ice and take nsaids as needed. I will have to live with it for the rest of my life. He also said he would do an injection, but wants me to try these treatments before he gives me an injection.
Anyway, such a little part of the body and it sucks to injury it.
