Normally, uric acid dissolves in your blood and passes through your kidneys into your urine. But sometimes either your body produces too much uric acid or your kidneys excrete too little uric acid. When this happens, uric acid can build up, forming sharp, needlelike urate crystals in a joint or surrounding tissue that cause pain, inflammation and swelling. Risk factors

The sesamoids are bones that connect to tendons or are embedded in muscles. The kneecap, for example, is the largest sesamoid.

Stress fractures may occur months or years after starting an activity, such as running, that puts stress on the bones. Robertson GAJ, et al. (2023). Return to sport following toe phalanx fractures: A systematic review. Many conditions that have peripheral neuropathy as a symptom can be controlled medically. These include diabetes and hypothyroidism. An ingrown toenail is a common cause of pain or discomfort in the big toe. It can occur if a person cuts their toenail too short or curves it in too far when cutting it. Wearing tight shoes may aggravate or even cause an ingrown toenail.

You can wear special pads or orthotic inserts for shoes to provide support and cushioning. Wearing toe splints at night can help to realign your toes. A doctor may use padding and tape to move your foot into alignment to reduce pressure.

If the injury is the result of a particular activity, it will often be necessary to avoid that activity while the injury heals. For instance, treating turf toe may involve avoiding the sport that caused the injury until it improves. Diagnosis is made through physical examination of the foot with simple range of motion exercises, and sometimes x-ray.
