I have been told I have arthritis in big toe. Have a bone spur that somewhat limits motion. (like when I really bend it back.)
Have been to a few docs and even a PRP injection. That doc (who did PRP) said that the toe was not that bad and he could hardly tell arthritis in xray except for spur.
But this thing has consumed me for years now with a few times it has just gone away. I have a history of TMS type stuff that I realize now what was going on. But the toe, the the Xrays, and docs telling me "it will only get worse" rings in my head. Sometimes worse that others.
So it's been around for years, but comes and goes, and doctors are vague and inconsistent about what it might be (I think any doctor who is not 100% sure of what is wrong but yet feels justified in saying "it will only get worse" should be shot).
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.... I'm no doctor but it sounds like ol' TMS to me.
Bone spurs are not necessarily an due to arthritis. I've had one for over 30 years. In the past 5-10 years it is SLOWLY getting smaller. I spent $$$ getting it tested; now I ignore it.
As I said, I'm not a doctor and have no right to attempt a diagnosis for you, of course. But maybe treating it like TMS and ignoring it might help :-)
