Bot was 80% certain my issue was synovitis exacerbated by my being a dumbass (not getting off my foot) and previous ankle sprains and fractures.

In posttraumatic osteoarthritis mouse models, synovial Foxp3+ Treg cells accumulated early after injury and acquired tissue-adapted features.
IL-2–mediated enrichment was associated with less synovitis & cartilage damage and partial preservation of load-bearing function

I could've saved about 250 bucks if I'd just gone to the orthopedist first. 50 bucks for exam, new x-rays, a cortisone shot, and a synovitis diagnosis.
Lesson somewhere in there about the decline in both number and quality of GPs in the US.
