Possibly : You have developed gout. It can happen to anyone. You need to go to the doc for an eval for proper diagnosis and treatment. Hopefully it's not an infection brewing

See your doc: Be vigilant, as you may be experiencing some blood flow issues in your foot, but this could also represent focal digital nerve involvement also, or even early infection. Contact your doctor and see tomorrow, at latest. Regarding diabetic neuropathy, have found great benefit with combination of Lyrica (pregabalin) and MetanX. Might discuss this also.
