Feel free to share this with whomever might benefit! One of the reasons I'm writing it up is that odd feeling of "just in case someone else I know goes through this one day".

If you like, I'll go back and unlock some of my old posts about what we tried first -- anti-inflammatory injections when it was misdiagnosed as metatarsalgia/capsulitis, physical therapy, orthotic inserts. Or if you're just interested in the injections, all that stuff's probably unlocked already.
