Toe pain for a few steps

My big toe on the left foot hurts at the bottom in the center. It is a sharp stinging pain. It started hurting a few days ago, starting when I was just walking normally in the house. At first I thought I had stepped on something, but after careful examination there was nothing there.

The toe only hurts when I put pressure on it by walking, tapping it, or rubbing the skin in that area.

The strange part is, the pain goes away after taking a few steps. Any sort of stimulation of the area (walking, rubbing the area, tapping it gently) for a brief duration completely alleviates the pain.

It will only hurt for a few steps, after that the pain is gone and I could walk a mile with no difficulty. The pain will come back after not stimulating the area for ~30 sec. When sitting with no pressure on the toe, there is no pain.

The toe is not numb, I have no difficulty bending it, and it has never happened before. I am a male in my mid 20s. Doesn't seem like it is worth a doctor's visit, but the pain is annoying for the first few steps I take.
