Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns
With such presentations in my clinic, I would first rule out certain conditions:
1-Gouty arthritis as It's one of the most common causes of acute foot pain ,can be excluded by doing serum uric acid and relieved by urate lowering drugs
2-Metatarsalgia due to heavy activities as prolonged walking and this could be relieved by NSAID and reducing heavy work .
I find this answer helpful
