Tingling/throbbing in second toe on my left foot.

The second toes in both my feet are about half and inch longer than the big toes. I get a lot of tingling/throbbing sensation in my left toe, occasionally it gets sore.

When I was 14 my grandfather brought some tie up shoes from NZ for me. Unfortunately, because of my longer second toes, the shoes were much too tight. I was boarding with a family at the time, away from home. I was forced to wear them by one member of this family because she said my grandad had given me so lovingly. As are result my toes used to get crushed and a year or so later the nails of both toes fell off.

I have a feeling that wearing those shoes may have damaged the nerve ending of the given toe.

My GP here said it was an infection but didnt take into account that it could possibly have been the tight shoes.

The tingling/throbbing is quite bad at the moment and particularly bad at night. Just wondering it would be best to get it seen by the chiropodist.

Thank you
