I would like to second everything that Diane wrote above, from welcoming you to EmpowHer to all of the amazing information that she posted for you. I just wanted to weigh in and let you know that as I was reading your post my first thought was "stress fracture". I've had them and I've had friends and family members have them and the pain is exactly as you describe. I have a friend whose mother-in-law got one just from stepping off a curb sort of funny, so it's not like you need to have a really obvious injury like a fall or something to get one.
It could be another type of injury to the bones and/or ligaments in your foot too. I agree with Diane that a month is more than enough time to live with this. I would love it if you could make an appointment tomorrow to go in and get some X-rays and get this solved and start healing it up. Please post again and let us know what you find out. Big hugs to you, Michelle
