🦶 Why Does Your Big Toe Hurt While Walking?

Big toe pain can make walking, climbing stairs, pushing off, or even wearing shoes uncomfortable. But the cause isn’t always just “wear and tear.”

🔎 Common causes include:
• Bunions
• Big toe arthritis (Hallux Rigidus)
• Gout
• Tight or poorly fitting shoes
• Injury or sprain
• Sesamoid problems
• Ingrown toenail

⚠️ Don’t ignore persistent big toe pain, especially if you notice swelling, redness, stiffness, a visible bump, difficulty walking, or repeated episodes of severe pain.
