The pain of walking on the little toe may be due to physiological reasons such as inappropriate shoes or pathological reasons such as joint inflammation, tendon lesions, infections, skin lesions, and so on.
1. Physiological reasons: If you wear inappropriate shoes, such as too narrow or too small, the little toe may be squeezed for a long time, which may cause pain in the little toe when walking.
2. Pathological causes
(1) Joint inflammation: the joints of the little toes may have aseptic inflammation inside them due to cold or due to overuse, etc., which may cause pain during walking.
(2) Tendinopathy: due to the patient’s long-term overuse of the foot, which in turn leads to inflammation of tendons or tendon sheaths resulting in pain.
(3) Skin lesions: the little toe is often subjected to friction and extrusion, which may produce corns, metatarsal warts and other skin diseases, and then lead to walking pain.
It is recommended that people with painful walking on little toes wear suitable and comfortable shoes. If the pain cannot be relieved for a long time, it is necessary to consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease and standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
