Hi,Dear,Welcome to HCM. Based on the facts of your query,You seem to suffer from-Excessive-Friction Melanonychia with Purple Subungual Hematoma of Big Toe,caused from ill fitting Shoes causing extra pressure on this side of the foot-This excessive friction on the foot in question is due to the compromised other side foot,for which You underwent 9 surgeries.
This has caused extra stress of the knee / calf and ankle muscles,giving fatigue pain.
Remedy-
Do as follows-
-X-ray of the Big Toe and plantar arch of the affected foot/ Blood Tests
-Second opinion from Podiatrist or ortho-Surgeon for assesment of the cause of this purple gushy Lump of the Big toe.
-Under Antibiotic and painkiller drugs-Decompress High tension in the purple painful gushy big toe Lump,for reducing risk of -compromising arterial blood supply to big toe and resultant gangrene.

Don't worry if you follow above steps urgently.
