You'd better see a doctor.
I don't know when you posted this but I did the same thing a year ago and it took quite a while for the pain to go away. My guess is that there is something in the honey locust needle that is an irritant. I also thought there was something still in my foot, that's how bad it hurt. What really helped while my foot was getting better was to wear shoes that had a thick rubber sole. I have a pair of Land's End clogs with the canvas upper and a super thick rubber sole, they were the only shoes I was comfortable in. I still wear them to this day when I go out in my pasture (which is where I got the injury) just in case, the needles don't go through it sole. Hope this helps, good luck.
