When I curl my big toe with the foot extended (sorta 'pointing' with the foot if that makes sense) I get an intense burning sensation in the knuckle.
I figured it would go away in time, but I've had it for a few weeks now.
It's no biggie, just wondered if it sounds familiar?

No nothing familiar.

I assume that the pain is only there when you move your toe and not present all the time?

I assume that it is not red and swollen.

Just monitor the situation.

Thanks for the replies - and sorry it's taken me a while to respond.
Wouldn't you know it, been putting up with it for weeks, finally ask for advice, and it disappears. Other than a painful joint, none of the symptoms seem to to suggest gout - and Sqad's assumptions are spot on.
If it comes back I'll get it looked at.
Cheers all.
