Broken small toe left, as suspected. Plantar fasciitis, adding to point heel pain related to damaged heel fat pad, right. Stiff achilles tendon. No apparent arthritis, which is the best news, nothing degenerative. No stress fractures. Specific insoles, a night foot support for a while, massage, ice, exercises. Slow recovery, but all treatable, and no mention of anything as intrusive as surgery.
So, yeah. My feet are sore, but in good shape for how much time I stand on them. And I can do some refurbishment. Very glad I've always had good shoes, and never wore high heels for more than a few hours at a time. Such a relief. Couple of months, I should be back to some kind of normal.
Watching Rumble The Indians who Rocked the World which I highly recommend. It's the sad horror of a terrible history, and the enduring hope of music.

Glad you've had a good diagnosis and treatment sorted.
Got any idea how you acquired these injuries? Glad you won't have to have surgery and the pain can be dealt with, in time.
gz,
I am so fortunate. And I knew my x-ray tech, which is fun.
Cat,
Bashed one toe, then the one I broke, months of limping too heavily on the other foot. I assume, that and just too much standing over the decades.
It is good to get knowledge of one's insides and have it be encouraging. Heal well, heels and toes.
