The toes contain 14 bones, as well as joints, muscles, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels, all of which can be injured, compressed or infected. The truth is, there are a multitude of reasons why your toes may be hurting, from minor injuries to serious medical conditions. In this article, we will explore the 6 most common causes of toe pain, including arthritis, hammer toe, and neuroma, and discuss their symptoms and treatment options. We’ll also provide tips for relieving toe pain at home, as well as guidance on when to see a doctor. So, if you’re looking to learn more about the possible causes of your toe pain, read on to discover what you need to know.

6 Most Common Causes of Toe Pain:
1. Broken, dislocated or sprained toes
After an injury to the foot, you may notice swelling and bruising, and feel pain in one or more toes. These types of injuries can often resolve on their own with icing, pain relievers, rest and elevation. If pain and swelling persist after three days, consult a physician, particularly if the injury is in the big toe.

2. Arthritis (including Gout and Hallux Rigidus)
Toe Osteoarthritis
Caused by wear and tear of the cartilage in the joint, most often in the big toe, arthritis can cause pain, achiness and possibly burning. It can also lead to pain in the arch and the other toes. This can be treated with pain relievers and ice, as well as a change in footwear. Medical treatment can include custom orthotics and steroid injections. In the case that bone spurs are formed, then surgery may be necessary. Tips to help with Osteoarthritis →

Other types of arthritis that can affect the toes include:

Rheumatoid Arthritis of Toe
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) of the toe is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the joints, causing inflammation, swelling, and pain. The condition occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the synovium, a tissue that lines the joints, leading to the breakdown of cartilage and bone. The symptoms of RA in the toe may include stiffness, tenderness, warmth, redness, and difficulty walking or performing daily activities. The causes of RA are not fully understood, but genetics, hormones, and environmental factors may play a role. Early diagnosis and treatment of RA are important to prevent joint damage and deformity. Treatment may include medication, physical therapy, and surgery.
Gout
Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis that is the result of crystals of uric acid accumulating in the joint, causing severe, sharp pain, as well as redness, swelling, and/or stiffness in the joint. Gout most commonly forms in the joint of the big toe. Gout attacks are treated with NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). In cases of chronic gout, lifestyle changes such as weight loss and reduced alcohol intake are necessary, along with prescription medication.
