thanks 4 ur enquiry
is there any history of trauma????
as there is no signs of inflammation other than pain most probably it may be due to trauma and remarkably pain is also radiating and getting worse during walking.
put her on oral analgesics, give the foot rest and do a x-ray of that foot both AP and Lateral view and do a serum uric acid level. consult with local doctors after the reports getting available or consult with us
