The patchis fo arthritis which is all over my body. This pain has started in \June and defies all mediucines. I have spoken to a rheumaltoloist about it and also my G\p butthey hav offered no help on his.

Ask an osteopath (bone doctor) if a toe splint would relieve the pain. I had swelling in the ball of my foot that was forcing my toes out of line and it felt like sewing needles being jabbed into my toes all the time. He showed me how to tape down one toe and it brought all the others into line. That and hard sole shoes got rid of the pain in about 2 weeks.

You didn't say what for what you were using the patch. If it is near the nerve that carries messages to your toe and foot, it might be refered pain.
But to your question, have you tried ice? Try 10 minutes with an icebag and 10 minutes without. When I have any type of foot pain, I use ice and it normally helps.
