I've broke my right foot three times in that same exact spot. Not sure what you have.
You broke your foot in his foot? Three times?
What are you, oh, never mind. I probably don't want to know. But I do. And I don't.
Not a doctor, but helped people with foot problems/sold shoes and now do shoe repair. Support your arch and planter tendon in ball of foot to relieve pressure on the arch of the foot. New balance, Asics, Brooks make shoes for pronation, suppanation or neutral gate. The insole makes a huge difference for what type of shoe you need as that insole actually provides the support you need. Also, take a 20oz soda plastic bottle fill it with water( leave room for freezing cause it expands) and roll that on the bottom of your feet at night to help with swelling and slow inflammation down. There are also sleeves you can wear at night while you sleep to keep the the tendon stretched so it can’t ball up or cramp up to help with pain in the morning.
Do not do like I do with things like this which is (1) live with it for months hoping it will get better (2) give in and see family doc and get referral to specialist (3) sit on referral for a month until pain drives you to call in for the appt (3) wait because specialist is out of office and staff needs to confirm with him to see if you are "bad" enough for him. Apparently my referral was to a super star guy (not kidding). In between steps 1 through 3, and after, take liberal amounts of ibuprofen.
I've had gout and/or pseudo gout. I'm also dealing with stone bruise where it feels as if you stomped on a small pebble and the bone is bruised.
No discoloration for me - but any chance you have diabetes?
I ditched old shoes and bought what are best described as mailman shoes with extra cushioning which relieves most if not all the pain.
I tried the good feet things and the tricks they do in the mall work - in the mall. If you buy the top of the line, EEEAAASSSEEE into wearing them as it can cause terrific discomfort while you break your feet in.
Bare feet running was a thing back in the day which has faded, but LOTS of sports orthos say some minimal training barefoot or in zero drop shoes helps overall foot health, strengthens things that get weak, loosens things that get tight.
SSsssoooooooo - podiatrist.

That right there is what made the biggest difference in my life. Helped strengthen my foot and effectively eliminated my foot/knee issues. While I'm a huge advocate for it while working out, it's also not "natural" for humans to be standing on concrete for such long periods of time. While a firm believer in zero drop/barefoot type footwear...support and cushion helps a ton while standing on a hard surface. I know I've had to buy pads to stand on while using my standing desk.
