Many possibilities: Was there an injury? Were you doing any heavy activity prior to these events? What shoes are you wearing? The answers to these questions may help narrow things down. May just be irritated or pinched nerve from swelling. Wear loose fitting shoes. If it persists, see podiatrist.

See below: You may have bursitis or gout or you may have compression of the nerve. See a podiatrist.
