What To Do For Severe Pain In Foot?

I am aged 57 female, pretty fit, did long walk today with dog (3 miles) as I do every day, came back did shopping, cooked a meal when I suddenly got a twinge in the front of my ankle, I just shook my foot as I thought it had gone to sleep. It quickly developed into a severe pain and when I tried get up after my meal, I shrieked in pain. I have taken 2 Nurofen about a half hour ago, I cannot stand on this foot. I do not smoke and in good general health, have no health issues.
