Brief Answer:
it can be inflammation of the tendon.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that you might be having tendinitis, inflammation of the tendon.
I would suggest that you should get an X - Ray of foot (AP, Lateral and Oblique view) done and get yourself clinically examined by an orthopedic surgeon.
You can take painkiller like Ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with a muscle relaxant like Chloroxazone and an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg.
Local application of pain relieving gel will have added benefits.
Further medical management can be planned according to the reports of the X - Ray and according to the clinical evaluation done by your doctor.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
