You could have gout or early arthritis. But without exam and good work-up exact diagnosis is difficult to make

Your history is incomplete. You wake up swollen. Did you go to bed in pain? The type of pain? Shooting electrical sensation? As part of a differential diagnosis I would consider a Morton’s neuroma or joint capsulitis. Minus evidence on the MRI of a neuroma, consider joint capsulitis as a diagnosis
