Noticed Slight Pain In Right Foot, Toe Swollen, Half Purple From The Tip Back To Middle. What Could Be The Reason?

Noticed slight pain in right foot yesterday when going up & down stairs. Ignored it, but last night I noticed my third toe was quite swollen and very purple. Stayed off my feet today and it is now only half purple from the tip back to middle. Why?
