Hi, have you considered the fact it might be arthritis in your toe? I get this [pain and believe it to be quite common. Mine really swell and cause dizzines as I lose my balance due to it. Silly as it sounds. Ice and rest are my best suggestions I am afraid other than a size bigger in shoes!! Excuse to go shoe shopping!! :lol: Do mention it to your rheumy though, if it is swollen take photos to show him in case it has gone before appt. Hope your appt goes well.
