I have the same problem, I think! My toes have hurt for years since I did a home roofing project. Many hours of kneeling on my right leg (as I always do) made my big toe hurt whenever I do similar actions and bend my big toe in an upwards direction. 10 years later it still hurts and I believe I have injured it permanently somehow.
I have to bend and squat down daily in my job so I have tried to change my actions as much as possible. When necessary to kneel I place my big toe on the ground further back than needed and roll it FORWARD so the toes are curling down somewhat (not up!). Most boots don't bend well in this direction so it makes a firmer support and the toes seem to feel better after.
As mentioned good footwear is important! don't detect in cheep shoes!
Hope this helps you!
