Not all pain is bone: X-rays are best to detect problems with bones. There are other causes of pain, including problems with the cartilage, ligaments, tendons and muscles. Pain is not normal, as you know. See PCP first, and if necessary, an orthopedist or orthopedist that specializes in foot and ankle problems. Chronic pain leads to limping, and gait changes can aggravate pain! Best to be get further evaluation.
