Inflammation of the bones at the base of the big toe
This is also known as sesamoiditis. It is an inflammation of the two small bones located beneath the big toe joint. If you experience severe pain beneath the head of the first metatarsal bone, particularly when standing on your toes as your foot rolls forward, it is advisable to see a podiatrist.
