A physical examination by an orthopedic doctor may be in order, but before that please try to get a few investigations conducted like an X-ray of the affected limb (the foot region), blood tests which include RA factor, ESR, serum uric acid, etc.
For now, try to rest and avoid weight bearing. Change your diet if it includes a lot of meat and sugar consumption on a daily basis.
Best wishes.
