Finally got to see the ortho today. He thinks it's just a neuroma and the tendon is fine. He thinks the pop I am feeling is the nerve not the tendon, and the appearance of tendon sublux is just the enlarged nerve interfering with my toes realigning properly after my foot deloads. He said that if it really is a problem with the the tendon and something like this has occurred:
then he has never seen or heard of it in 11 years of practice and wouldn't even know what kind of surgical fix he could do for it.
Since I was there we injected it again to see what happens. Maybe my earlier injection didn't get the right spot, who knows.
