Since your chronicity may be secondary to a small stress fracture, or even development of a complex regional pain syndrome, this needs full re-evaluation by an experienced clinician. A triple phase bone scan may uncover the answer.

I would recommend seeing a podiatrist. Bring a copy of original X-rays with you. A fracture could have been missed and not healing.
