Well, I just returned from the sports medicine doctor. He did an ultrasound of my foot and detected nothing wrong. Inflammation is gone, just a *slight* hint of arthritis, but he said that would be found in anyone's ultrasound. We didn't schedule an MRI, because now there's no reason for it. If I flare up again, we can get an MRI in to see what's happening.
Could it be gout? My niece has flare ups with gout. You just have to get to a doctor during the actual flare up in order for them to do testing. In the meantime, I am glad the inflammation has resolved.

@Spagesgallo1 No, both doctors I've seen don't think it's gout. But I think it's time for a visit to my NP to make a more determinative diagnosis.
@LiberalLibrarian
Yeah, that sounds like a good plan, especially if it's a reoccurring issue. Praying 🙏 that you get some answers soon!
