why do my big toes hurt all the time?

Answer 1

Maybe gout.

"Gout usually develops in the joint of the first toe (i.e., the big toe, or hallux). Common symptoms include the following:

Inflammation
Pain
Redness
Stiffness
Swelling

Touching or moving the toe may be intensely painful and patients often say that having as much as a bed sheet over the toe increases the pain. Symptoms of gout develop quickly (sometimes in 1 day) and typically occur in only one joint at a time. Rarely, symptoms develop in two or three joints simultaneously. If widespread symptoms occur, the condition is probably not gout. If left untreated, gout can damage joints and cause disability."

Answer 2

You could have a bunions, arthritis or Gout. Gout is caused by uric acid buildup in the joint. These crystals cause inflammation and could be quite painful. You can control it through diet. Certain foods and beverages cause flare ups. Alcohol is one that really creates a problem. If it is not Gout or Bunions or arthritis try checking your shoes or activities like running that may aggrivate or cause repetitive use injuries.
