My toes can be pain level 10 at times within a 10 minute span.

At other times, I sit and am conscious of wiggling my toes almost constantly. PL 4

There is no effect on my fingers.

Duration - last five years.

From January 2022, the general PL 8 affected both big toes.

In February, the main bout of pain was soon after going to bed.  Being 6 ft means that the end blanket area bore down on the toes.

Action - install a bed cage.

Cure?  Have tried everything listed here to no avail.
