foot pain

I am woken up during the night with hot burning pain in my left foot only, mostly in the middle toes.  It is really painful, and I get up and rub Aspercremem on them.  2 questions...Why only this foot....and could it be gout.  I have polymylgia rheumatica and spine problems.

Gout usually only hits one joint at a time and is most common in the large toe.   I have not seen this as a symptom of polymyalgia rheumatica.  You may want to try the MedHelp symptom checker and have it looked at by your doctor.
