Conservative treatment of Hallux Rigidus

I am having similar symptoms to this and I thought it may be gout. Is Big Toe Arthritis the same thing you're referring to, gout? The symptoms match and the risk factors. Isn't gout a part of arthritis and what was your diagnosis? I haven't seen the doctor yet but have a regular scheduled appointment next week. I've been following a diet approach with yogurt, cherry juice and lots of water, no red meat. I've had the burning, pin prick stabbing pain with such tenderness I can't touch it. Using heat and ice. Last night my whole foot was swollen.

Thank you bernese. Yes I have an appointment next week. I've been pretty sure it's gout but wondering if it could be the same issue written about above.
@sandilee I have “frozen toe” also called Hallux Rigidus. It was diagnosed 7 years ago by a rheumatologist but he never indicated how badly it progresses. It’s very very painful, the joint has grown on the top and a larger one on side. I have knee problems and some hip, all on same side and a new rheumatologist I went to said my problems all stem from the frozen toe. I would like to know what shoe might help. We travel a lot and it’s getting more difficult. I am 81 and have no idea if this is genetic or not.

Gout results from the build-up of Uric acid and can result in symptoms similar to arthritis. Have you seen a doctor? Hope you feel better soon.
