Swollen toe and bulges I cannot step on

Hi, last Saturday I woke up with painful foot. I did not fully realize it until I went out for a walk on Sunday, when I had woeful pain. The part below my MTP joint is swollen alslo the bulges of my foot. they are not painful to touch or press (I am on naproxen) but it is very difficult to walk, I am gaiting. I cannot press the toe on the floor. This morning I was able to bend my toe from the MTP joint, but after doing it for a few times, it has now become rigid again.. I am having a xray tomorrow.. but this is norway- it takes 1-2 weeks for the reports to come. :( My GP thinks rest will heal it and has suggested full offloading and rest for few days.. I am very anxious as we are moving in 3 weeks to our new apartment and my wife will be strssed out.. will I be in a position to walk in a couple of weeks?
in this subredit I am seeing posts on extreme cases, is my situation similar to one of those?
