Painful big toe in a runner.....negative blood tests....my first thought is a stress fracture.
See if you can get a MRI scan either privately or on the NHS and Internet meantime, cease running and take Ibuprofen 400mgms three times a day.
Another thought is what is known as " Turf Toe".
I don't know much about it so perhaps you could Google it.
Gout?
Classic gout symptom. EXACTLY what I had.
I now take Allopurinal daily no probs.
Gout? Hardly classic and negative blood tests.
150-1 GOUT....an outsider..but outsiders can win.

I also have random pain in my thumb joints as well could this all be linked to gout?
minnie......it isn't gout.
