Bone epiphysis deformity in golf clubs, toes and fingers is often synonymous with lung cancer, chronic lung infection, heart disease or bowel disease. Lung cancer and heart disease decrease vascular resistance, which increases blood flow to the small arteries in the toenails and fingernails, swells tissue and causes deformation of the bone epiphyses (fingers and toes become rounder and wider). Although patients are usually aware that they have a disease causing the deformity, it is best to consult their doctor.

Do you experience painful inflammation of the big toe? It could be a gout attack, a type of arthritis that usually affects the big toe joint. Foods high in purine, a chemical found in red meat, fish, and some alcohols, can trigger a gout attack by raising the level of uric acid in the body. Uric acid is normally excreted in the urine, but may be produced in large amounts or not excreted in sufficient quantities in some people. Most often, uric acid is deposited in the big toe or ankle. The patient wakes up with a red swollen joint. It is extremely painful. If necessary, a doctor prescribes anti-inflammatory drugs for relief and suggests a low purine diet for prevention.
