Should I see a specialist for top left foot pain after backpacking with a 12kg load?

I have pain on the top of my left foot when I put weight on it. I’m having trouble walking. The pain started after a day of backpacking a 12kg backpack. It’s still sore after 24hrs rest, should I see a specialist? What’s the best way to recover?
