Default Gout or Sesamoiditis?

I am suffering from toe pain on the bottom of my big toe and the joint. It is red, swollen and it hurts when I lift my toe up. I am unable to put any weight on it. My podiatrist says it is semoiditis. He told me to ice it and wear a boot. My rheumy says it is gout and gave me colcrys 0.6 mg 3.5 days ago. It still hurts and is swollen. Any thougts/advice?
