Identify the point indicated for pain in the toe joints.

The correct answer is LV-1, which is located at the corner of the nail bed of the big toe. This point is known for its ability to address issues related to the lower limbs, particularly in relation to joint pain, including discomfort in the toe joints.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, LV-1 is associated with the Liver meridian, which plays a crucial role in the smooth flow of Qi (energy) and blood throughout the body. When there is a blockage or stagnation in the Liver meridian, it can manifest as pain or discomfort in areas associated with that meridian, including the toes. Needle stimulation at LV-1 can help alleviate this pain by restoring balance and promoting better circulation in the affected areas.

Other points provided may have different actions or indications. For instance, GB-44 relates more to conditions affecting the gallbladder and side of the body rather than toe joint issues. ST-41, located at the ankle, generally addresses conditions related to the stomach and digestive system, while KI-6, associated with the Kidney meridian, is often employed for its supportive role in addressing Yin deficiency or issues related to the reproductive and urinary systems. These points, while useful in their contexts, do not specifically target toe joint
