Hello dear
I understand your concern.
Your symptoms could be due to hairline fracture/haematoma/joint effusion, gout, arthritis.
Exact diagnosis should be made by physical examination, blood tests like ESR, CBC, RA factor, serum uric acid and x ray.
Specific treatment will depend on cause.
Meanwhile take following advises:
Give completely rest
Apply comfortable splint
Warm pad application
Wear comfortable foot wear
Tablet diclofenac plus serritopeptidase
Rise the leg while sleeping by putting pillow
Hope this may help you
Contact further if follow up needed
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
