    Hi everyone..

    My 19 year old brother has been facing some pain in the join between his 4th toe and little toe.. as can be seen in this picture:

    The pain usually occurs at night, and only when he applies pressure to it. The toes look perfect normal, no bruises, bunions etc. It does not affect walking/daily activities, only when he applies pressure to it.

    Before people tell him to visit a doctor.. yes, he is going to visit a doctor. But we humans have this dire need to find out what's wrong before a doctor telling..;)

    So any idea what may be the cause of this mysterious pain?

    Thanks,
    Joanne

    If there's an infection won't there be any outward signs? Swollen, discoloration etc?
