big toe pain? . i awoke this morning with pain and inflammation in my right big toe. it is tender to touch painful to walk and seems hot (feverish). i don't recall having injured it in any way. i am not diabetic to my knowledge. i put arnica on it and it feels a little better but it is still a concern.
