i have gout so bad i've had two surger- ies in 3 months and mine started like yours )big toe(....SINCE YOU HAVE SEEN A DOCTOR and have anti-inflammatory medicine and acid levels are ok.... do this: ice any inflammation down.. ..keep the foot elevated (on a pillow for example)..but most of all.... STAY OFF THE FOOT!....it is irritated and gout means L O N G T E R M PROBLEMS....this is difficult to do and still go to work, or school, but there is no choice. walking on it will just ensure it gets worse, not better.
