One of my big toes has been red, hot and very stiff.
It happens occasionally and it is only my big toes that are affected and it can be either big toe. It slows me down when walking Beano and is uncomfortable, I don't take painkillers very often by I did over a couple of days, take two ibuprofen and two paracetamol. I assume it's arthritis and I shall just keep buggering on.
Steve has managed to mess up the TV, he can't tune it in to the channel he wants. He phoned his friend Bob so many times that Bob has agreed to come over to sort it out. I am extremely grateful as I'm sick to death of Steve's constant stropping around.

That sounds so painful. A foot soak with Epsom salts might help.
Could it be gout? That would be most unfair. Gout is not always related to alcohol consumption, my meds can cause it.
A painful, swollen and red big toe could be gout, a GP should be able to help you with correcting meds. If you can get to one.
I also would have suggested that it sounds like gout. Best to see a doctor as soon as you can get there. Take care!
Sounds like gout to me too! Hope it's better soon!
Allopurinol is my prescribed medicine to alleviate Gout. Hope you can get some. Sod's Law that you get gout and your husband just drinks the brewery dry.
All of the above! Gout, non-alcohol related, and Allopurinol as the solution.
Black Cherry Juice is good for Gout, if you can get it!
