Fingers crossed that's not the problem, but there's too many muscles, tendons and ligaments in the feet and ankles to trust a dx to an X-Ray IMO. And they generally don't react well to long bouts of spasms.

Hope you feel better soon
It's getting a little better. I keep a compression sock on that foot and it helps immensley. I need to buy another one since I'm washing the only one I have nearly everyday.

I think I'm going to call the doctor they referred me to at the E.R. Maybe he will need an MRI and can write up the order for it.

My gait is so messed up now due to this foot injury that my back and several other things hurt.

Honestly, I can't remember what feels like to not have some sort of pain.
