Forefoot Pain

Forefoot pain pain primarily occurs in the toenails, the big toe, the small toes and the little pinky toe. The bones at the base of the toes are called the metatarsophalangeal joints; these joints are the primary weight bearing surface of the forefoot and not the toes. Fore this reason most of the pain in the forefoot occurs in the metatarsophalangeal joints.
