<s>[INST] OK this is my first time, I am 59 yrs , female (Hispanic) decent. I have been experiencing a sharp pain on my big toe mostly on the left foot (sometimes both foot) as if someone were pinching-squeeze them. I have had this going on for about three months. Also I have started getting a strong burning like sensation on my left leg somewhat pass the knee beginning on the top of the leg, and it would last for about 5-7 minutes. Can you tell me what you think it could be? [/INST] Hi,Thanks  for  your query.According to your description , pain over your big toe seems to be inflammatory in nature. It could be an acute attack of gout.I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.Take care </s>
