First we have to find out what is the cause of this pain. Did you had any trauma or it occur with some fever associated. I would also request you to get blood investigation like ESR and CRP to check if it is abnormal. Meanwhile you should take painkiller like Brufen and rest. Continue ice application and also apply compression bandage and keep your foot elevated over pillow.
