Healed fracture of foot that still hurts, MRI shows nothing is wrong, please help?

Hello everyone. I am writing this here today because I have no idea what else to do.
10 months ago, I fractured my 5th metatarsal neck playing basketball. Ever since then it has healed, but I'm still in a good amount of pain. My pain levels are as follows:
- Very sore after walking/standing for a long time
- Sore in the mornings
- Random burning pain/aching (could be while sitting or laying down)
- Slight pain while walking; feels like a bruise, have resorted to putting more pressure on the inside of my foot
- Bruised feeling while running or hopping
- Swelling at site where fracture was
So, I'm experiencing this pain and it's 10 months later, in which I did Physical Therapy, got a cortisone injections, and shockwave treatment. Also, I've gotten 2 CT Scans and 3 MRI's, and they have shown nothing, just a healed fracture. So, my question is, what the heck can be wrong? Based on laws of science, there should be SOMETHING wrong. Like, could have the radiologist missed something? Or can another test determine what's wrong? Please help me.

Hello~I would suggest seeing a chiropractor who specializes in sports medicine and adjusting. Some of the bones in your foot may be out of alignment and if this is the case, you will have the pain you are describing. The chiropractors are trained to read x-rays differently than MD's, they will be able to see immediately if this is the case. A few treatments and you should be lots better.
