Okay, you might want to talk to an orthopedic surgeon who is a foot and ankle specialist. The day I did that was the day my life started to get better.
They may want to do an MRI. Those aren't perfect, but they can detect a lot of problems that ordinary x-rays won't.
When they did the bloodwork, they checked you for inflammation, arthritis, infection, Lyme disease, all that good stuff, right?
If you need referrals for your insurance, go back to the doctor, and say, "Look, I'm still having problems and I have no answers, I want to see a specialist."
If not, find a good orthopedist yourself. Friends and family are a good source of recommendations, or contact a local teaching hospital. Ideal is a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon.
Meanwhile, keep icing, and try to keep your foot propped up whenever you don't actually have to walk. It'll keep the swelling down a little.
Best of luck.
