Angry Lateral foot pain... owie!!!

Over the last couple of days, the lateral side (on the bottom) of my right foot has been hurting. It started Sunday night, and has been getting progressively worse. Today at work, I stepped off the elevator, and it felt like my foot broke. So I hopped back to my desk, felt around for swelling, knots, etc. Nothing. After rubbing on it for a minute, the pain subsided. I get up to get a drink, and it's worse now than ever.

So, I poked around some more, working my way up my calves, and noticed that the lateral head of my gastroc is EXTREMELY tight. I've been doing some extra ankle mobility work lately, which has stretched my calves out some.

Could this have lead to the tight gastroc, which in turn is causing my foot pain?
