Could very well be gout. A doctor could tell you after drawing fluid from the affected area. As recommended, try stayin away from fatty foods. It sux, but we aren't the 16 yr olds that we used to be (speakin for myself here) when we could eat anything we wanted without worry.

i think you have arthritis
First, there are many forms of arthritis, each of which differ in the do's and don'ts of diet. So, the answer is that it depends to some degree on the form of arthritis.
Persons with gouty arthritis should tend to avoid red meats, shellfish, alcohol, and dehydration. At the same time, dairy products such as low-fat milk and yogurt, as well as adequate hydration, are encouraged in persons with gout. Persons with inflammatory arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, may benefit by taking the omega-3 fatty acids that are in the oils of fish, particularly salmon. Those with osteoarthritis might benefit from the food supplement glucosamine.

I had a friend with similar symptoms.
It was gout, in his big toe.
Doctor advised him to change diet, stop smoking and lose weight.
Six months later was better and healthier all round.
