"lump" under foot after surgery

I'm desperate at this point. In April of this year I had a bilateral bunion repair and Right foot 2nd hammertoe repair. My Left foot healed very well, but I am still having A LOT of pain in my right foot. I can only describe it as walking on a marble, but the pain is severe. I have had 4 cortisone injections, a walking boot, and was in a cast with no weight bearing for a month. The pain is the same. I have a sever limp and even walking the grocery store is exhausting. I am an RN and I am about to lose my job because I cannot be on my feet for more than an hour let alone 12 1/2 hrs to work. Physically there is no lump, there is a small amount of swelling under my 2nd toe. no callous, minimal nerve pain in my big toe. X-rays are clear and MRI shows 'swelling'. I have had a 2nd opinion that diagnosed RSD, but I do not believe that is what I have. I have been continuing to see my surgeon and will be going for a 3rd opinion. Would appreciate any input, comments, thoughts from anyone.
Thank you
