i hope that works for you. some of these aches and pains we get, just does not have an easy answer. Just for the heck of it, go on google, and type in your problem. start by asking....what can you do for...........then type in your systems. after getting several responses...........go back and re type the same question, but start with .....alternative treatments for....................then one more time and start with natural treatments for.........i do this frequently and get different answers with the different wordings. i was searching on and off for uti's when anti biotics were not working well for me, and one day, out of many, i finally got an answer that works for me. So maybe you can also be persistent, and every few months, or so, go back on google , and keep asking.
Might not work, buy you never know. I would include the big toe pain, and add in that it could be arthritis. Google is extremely picky on wording, but i'm getting used to playing its game. One word, can make a difference. let me know if you got any answers............also ask, can a castor oil pack help a big toe pain, with arthritis etc.........and see what they say. I sometimes use the Heritage castor oil for different things..........it is not the one used as a laxative, it is one used for many different things.....probably not for your extreme pain, but again...........it's only a question. Sometimes one question can lead to more info for you.............
