Doc said x-rays came back fine. I have no reason to doubt that- nothing looks weird to my non doctor eyes- but I cannot walk and my MRI was denied. Any ideas? Anything missed?

EDIT: A few people have asked for more info so I'm going to do my best to provide it.

Main symptom is pain when putting pressure on foot (standing up, taking a step), and some lesser pain when flexing it. No pain when moving my toes, and no real pain when touched- but there used to be.

I work a physical job with a fair bit of walking. I also commonly work 6 8hr shifts on a row. It was on one of these 8hr shifts that my foot started to hurt nearly in the middle of my foot. But I ignored it and kept walking on it until I couldn't. I called out the last 2 days of those 6.

When I first saw the doctor for foot pain, it was pain below my 3rd toe, and continued in almost a straight line from where it connects up to my ankle. Bit of pain generally across my foot, but the worst pain was the spot where my toe connected to my foot. Hurt to touch, every step hurt bad.

I got put in a walking boot (Breg genesis short version) and celebrex 200mg once a day. The boot helped a lot at first- after two weeks I was cleared to remove it. At this point I had no pain when walking short distances, and my doc told me to keep up the celebrex and try not to wear the boot.

Well 1.5 days after being cleared I once again could not really walk. Every step hurt bad, my entire foot this time- so I got back into my boot. Texted my doc and he said keep up the boot and celebrex for 2 weeks.

It was around this point that the pain shifted. Closer to my ankle and almost a dull burning pain, worse than the previous sharp pain. Dr suggested MRI but insurance denied it, we're trying to fight it but so far no news.

I am just so tired and sore. The boot does not stop the pain it only reduces it. I basically cannot get around without the boot.

I had a pink "peekaboo" of sorts that I ended up dyeing purple, and I liked the color a lot- and thought it'd be fun to dye all of my hair that color. I used some filters on tiktok and found shades I enjoyed, thought looked good, ect.

I bleached my entire head for the first time ever, and did lunar tides dark violet with a bit of eclipse mixed in- my first ever whole-head color. I kind of freaked out at how dark it was and rinsed it a LOT, resulting in this current color. It looks nearly blue in some lighting and I don't know how to best correct it.

Was thinking a red or pink semi-permanent dye heavily diluted in conditioner, kind of like a hair mask. But I don't know. I want a kind of smokier purple but not super super dark or as vibrant as it is now.

I've been told I'm a various autumns and various winters so I don't really know my season. Bright winter seemed to be the consensus last time but i'm not loving this pink, that's supposedly 'bright winter'. I had a darker teal blue and I loved it a lot more- I'll include a photo if I can find one. Also had a lime green that I enjoyed pretty good.

Thinking of maybe covering up with a dark red but idk yet- thoughts? Open to any and all colors.
