Hello,
It may be due to injury. For that you may require X-ray foot after orthopedic surgeon consultation consultation. For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen. Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition. Use support while walking.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
