“Webbed toe pain ”
I’m a 33 year old male with complete syndactyly of the 1st and 2nd toes on my right foot. For the past year I’ve had shooting pain and pulling pains along both digits. After doing my own research all sources say the condition should cause no pain or symptoms. Any advice would be appreciated.
Yours thankfully.

It is not uncommon for a patient to experience pain with syndactyly, especially between toe 1 and toe 2. The big toe in relation to the other toes is responsible for a much greater percent of foot and body stabilization as well as forward propulsion. Since the syndactyly is between toe 1 and toe 2, there is a higher chance of you experiencing pain in comparison to another patient whose syndactyly is in between the lesser toes. It is very important for you to have this properly evaluated by your local podiatrist who can help and identify the root cause of your pain.
