Splinter-like pain in my big toe

**lady00** · 12-21-2008, 08:41 PM

I checked to see if there was anything lodged in there. I even had a couple other people have a look for me and they saw nothing. My toe hurts every time I step on it. Any ideas? Thanks!

Could there be glass in there? Happened to me once and it was VERY hard to see.

Did you stub it or possibly break a bone?

Nah...it's on the bottom of my toe on one particular spot. If I move my finger over it I can feel the pain in that one spot and nowhere else.

No, I didn't stub it or injure it in any way that I can remember. I hope it's not glass. I really don't see anything there and neither does anyone I've asked (family members checked for me).

It could be gout, Is is red and swollen?

No swelling or redness...

If there's a bump where it hurts, it could be a cyst. If you don't see anything, maybe it's a pinched nerve?

Get a pot of hot water ( The hotter the better ) put salt in it. If there is anything in there the hot salt water will help draw it out.
