Thre are many : Reasons one can have joint pain, gout, hallux limitis, bone bruise, synovitis, capsulitis, stress fracture among a few. If nresponsive to warm water soaks or antiinflammatories I'd recommend you see a foot doctor.

Gout: The location is notorious for gout which is a crystal-induced arthropathy. Definitely see your doctor. Let him/her know if there was any trauma or overuse such as frequent hyperextension (turf toe).
