You are very young to endure such pain. I had dreadful problems with my big toes area and my legs up to my knees. I was diagnosed as having fallen arches.Extensive physio and orthotic insoles plus Sorbitane rubber heel pads and special exercises helped enormously. Well worth the expense and trouble.However, I am sixty this year and I've osteoporosis and osteoartheritis (diagnosed as a result of all the trouble with my legs/toes) and I have dreadful pain in my little toes now. I hiked four a half hours yesterday on the hills and I'm in agony, just my little toes. I use THERAPAIN PLUS spray for topical relief.(I'm taking other medicine for the ostp. and osta.) but this spray helps for a while, after I've iced the toes. I bought it on the internet from www.therapain-plus.com. Its expensive but helps. I rub in Aulin gel as well. Its hard to face out hiking again but at your age you just must get the problem sorted and not let it stop you. Good luck! Jean
