It sounds like you have "gout" it is from eating too much fatty foods, too much oils(any type of grease) and salt. Most of the time it can be fixed by regulating your diet and eating healthier, but sometimes it is so bad that you need medication as well as a balanced diet.

I would examine the shoes that you have been wearing lately, sometimes different textures can irritate your feet and cause pains and swelling. Otherwise i am not too sure what is going on. Have you been tested for diabetes, not to scare you...
