will also refer pain from the knee.
When I had my right knee problems over 10 yrs ago...
massive swelling and pain, I went to an ortho who gave me Vioxx, and mri and said "synovitis".
I went to a chiro then, who adjusted that knee and all the pain in my toe went away in seconds! There is a dermatome that goes to the big toe. So yes, it can be referred:

click on image to enlarge.
Dermatome to big toe is L4
Dermatome to middle toes L5
But remember if your knee is swollen or a problem it could be complicating things.
