podiatrist, during toe nail fungus treatment, stated tophi on bottom of big toe, left foot. nuerologist had said there was an infection in same toe, reason for swelling! pain was very intense during this episode. mri has shown kidney stone! tophi is also at base of joint in left thumb.
the tingling sensation and numbness is in toe and thumb. is the allipurinal going to disolve tophi and kidney stone?
