    So sorry this is happening to you and I would call the doctor. Sounds painful and swelling could be the issue causing nerve pain. Nerve pain usually the most difficult pain to get a handle on. 

    Try icing and using a antiinflammatory cream voltaren. 

    Keep foot up and rest for a few days. 

    Hope  it's not a ongoing issue and can be resolved soon. 

    Take it slow one day at a time.
