The possible causes include plantar fasciitis, gouty arthritis, bunion and so on. The treatments include general treatment, physical therapy, medication and so on. 1.

It is recommended to take more rest, and massage and electrotherapy can also be used to improve the pain symptoms. 2. Gouty arthritis: When acute gout attack occurs, there may be joint pain in the toes and forefoot area. Colchicine tablets can be taken to fight inflammation, and indomethacin can be taken to relieve joint pain. 3.
