Big toe hurts from bouldering

Hi everyone,

I have been bouldering/climbing more intensly for the past 9 months and somehow my right toe startet hurting.

I am hoping that someone may have encountered a similar problem. For a lot of other people, toe problems seem to be mostly cause by wearing wrong shoes. However, I'm currently using 3 different shoes from different manufacturers in different forms, and the problem remains. The toe is not hurting while climbing or even when walking etc, I just realise at night when I'm lying in bed and my toe is pressed into the mattress. Should I just not worry about it too much? But also it's not normal that my toe hurts after climbing? Could it be because my right foot is bigger and in the end it's the shoes after all? Is it some kind of wrong movement when pressing onto foot holds? I just don't know.

I really don't want to stop climbing just because my toe hurts at night haha 🥲🥲

Happy about any advice or ideas 💜
