Ill-fitting shoes, perhaps?

Do you remember banging your foot or kicking something really hard? Do you feel any pain? I bet you have a hair line fracture in your toe (not necessarily painful) but it would account for the swelling. If you had an xray done I would imagine this would show up.
Try to strap these two toes together and rest your foot where ever possible for about a week and see if the swelling goes down. If it's an old injury you may need to strap the toes for longer but just see if it works first.
