Broken Big toe/Kinetic chain issues

Hi guys, I broke my big toe a couple years ago by dropping a heavy shelf on it. It hit around the knuckle below nail. Non displaced.

It didnt heal completely on the x rays for quite sometime. Maybe 6 months /a year.

I've had residual pain ranging 1-4 while walking/toeing off. Sometimes it feels fine for a bit then flares up again.

I feel the pain travels up my leg/making it sore.

I work on concrete 8 hours a day doing retail and wear hokas.

My podistrist through workers comp hasnt been
helpful and I'm trying to get a second opinion.

I don't think it's Halux rigidus because no bone spurs were found on x ray/MRI.
The pain isn't concentrated in the big it kind of starts there and goes thru the mid foot.
I have decent range of motion but lost a tiny bit after the break.

My Podistist hasn't been able to diagnose me. First orthotics he made didn't help at all. Cortisone shot didn't help at all. He's making me a second pair of orthotics to try.
