I have not had any kind of accident to injure my foot and this came on suddenly. When I bend my toes while standing, the pain in my middle toe is pretty bad. However, when there is no wieght bearing on my foot, there is nearly no pain at all. There is also some redness on the top of the toe. I am a 51 yr. old woman who is physically active and not overweight.

If this continues for more than a few days or gets worse see someone.

Make sure your toes have room in your shoes. An off the shelf insert with met pad might help ( bump toward the toe just behind where your ball of the foot would be).
