Something is wrong with my big toe on my right foot. I was
on spring break a week ago, and this week I started up my
usual exercise routine of cardio and weight training.
Monday I went jogging after doing nothing for a week. On
Tuesday, my big toe hurt so badly that I could hardly
walk. The pain pulsed throughout my foot almost to my
ankle when I tried to step. My brother claims to have had
the same problem before, went to the doctor about it, and
the doctor told him it was tendonitis. The toe has
drastically improved over the week, but still hurts a
little and feels a little bit rigid in the joint when I
move it completely upward. I am planning on going on
around a 6 mile day hike tomorrow. Is this a bad idea?
Could I permanently damage anything, and is there anything
else this could be other than tendonitis?

Thanks!

Do a google search for GOUT. Depending upon your age,
your family history and your diet - it is worth a look.
The toe could also be broken or any other type of injury
to the joint.

Depending on shoe/boot fitting, it could also be a
forerunner of a bunion.

Time to hope for just tendentious. 🙂

Good luck on the hike. If you get a lot of pain before half
way you can still turn around (assuming a loop trip).
