My Great Toe Joint

Many years ago, I was diagnosed as having arthritis in my feet.  I was told to use insoles to alleviate the problem, and that worked.  Most recently, though, I have purchased some Skechers https://www.skechers.com/en-us/ shoes with memory foam, and do not seem to need the insoles. I still have insoles, if I need them.

Yesterday, I started having some pain in the joints of my toes in my right foot.  Specifically, today, I had intense pain in the joint of the great toe of my right foot.  The joint was swollen.  When I arrived home from work, I tried using an analgesic spray, and later, an analgesic cream.  Elevating my foot helped some.  I took some Aleve https://www.aleve.com/ which did not seem to help much.  What did help was elevating the foot and putting an ice pack on it.  

The throbbing has stopped.  So I will have to see how my foot feels tomorrow.
