Brief Answer:
Gout can be the case.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

If there was no injury, the pain can be caused by a gout. Very often, the first sign of this condition is a big toe pain without any injury. Redness and swelling can appear as well.
Any other rheumatic changes in the big toe joint can be the reason of such pain as well.

I suggest you to consult orthopedist. For sure, an x-ray has to be done. For gout attack Colchicine can be used.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
