Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The extreme pain and swelling with discoloration is suggestive of a hematoma formation along with a bone injury. A fracture is likely in your case. You need to keep your foot elevated and give it a rest. Do attend an ER and get an X-ray done to find out the extent of injury you have suffered.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.

The pain is less likely to be due to gout as it is not a chronic inflammation and the pain suddenly aggravated after an injury. However a direct examination will help in confirmation.
