I've been experiencing continuous pain in my left toes for several months now.

I wore open-toed sandals all summer long...

Then, when autumn came, I started wearing sneakers.

Suddenly, only three toes—starting from the middle of the left foot to the little toe—are experiencing pain...;;

 

Slippers worn during regular work hours are okay.

If I walk in sneakers for a certain period of time, I experience intense pain...

It's a pain severe enough to make my toes curl;;;

It feels like a cramp, and anyway, a stabbing pain starts~ It's so painful that I have to stop walking, take off my shoes, and wait for a while...

Sneakers are not particularly narrow at the toe box either.

It's strange, so I tried changing to different sneakers, but the same symptoms occurred;;

It's strange because they're all worn-out sneakers, so they're not even new sneakers...

 

The right side is fine, but it's strange that only the left side is like that.

I took off my shoes and looked at my feet very closely, but the toe shapes are all the same;;;

There is nothing growing on my toes or any rash.

Suddenly, as I age, it's not like I have deformities in my feet...

 

 

 

 

I tend to have wider feet than others, so I don't even look at narrow shoes or sneakers...

Actually, the front part of that shoe is about 1.5 cm empty.

 

 

No, I can't go to work wearing slippers just because I'm sick;;;

I'm so scared to wear sneakers, what should I do about this;;;

These days, if it takes a little longer, my toes start to hurt, and the pain spreads to the top of my foot, to the point where my entire left leg feels very painful;;;

Fortunately, my workplace is close by, and I hardly have to walk for long.

Why is this happening when my feet aren't even swollen??

 

I've had quite a bit of pain in my left knee due to cartilage softening. Could this be related?

Maybe it's just my imagination, but when I stretch out my toes, it feels like the flexibility of my toes on the left side is significantly worse;;; lol

It's awkward to go to the hospital for tests since I feel fine when I don't wear shoes;;;

Anyway, it's really inconvenient;;
