>broke 2 fingers in 2019, pinky and middle
>for about 2 years foot is very stiff in the morning and painful

I walk fine for the most part but after a long walk (even just an hour actually) I start getting pain in this spot in my calf,
and sometimes when I have to exert some force from the front of my foot, like say climb up a step, I'll get a cramp so bad It'll make me limp for days, in the same exact spot.

It's been going on since i broke my foot so I'm sure it's related.
Any idea how to fix it?

go get a scan done on it. probably tore a tendon and it didn't heal properly and now the load is being distributed wrong

Its muscle pain. there is no specific injury or accessory weakness indicated with muscle pain right in the calf afaik. its just a weak calf muscle. so make it stronger.

>>for about 2 years foot is very stiff in the morning and painful
this is a real problem. go to ankle rehab. or if you can't afford it try as many ankle sprain protocols as you can find.

Eat some raw liver to help your body heal faster. It's likely a tendon tear that continuously rips and heals, degrading over time. Stop hiking for a while, and actually heal.

Bumping because I also have ongoing aches and pains in my right leg, mainly a clickiness in my right knee and an overall stiffness in my right foot, especially around the arch and what seems to be a kind of tendonitis that flares up there and limits mobility
I think in the past I was wearing shoes too small for me, now that I've got a half size bigger it's a lot better around my foot but definitely still there and the clickiness in my knee remains
Not sure what I should do, went to a GP and they were hopeless, maybe a physio?

you need to start walking (an hour every other day), and some light running as you progress, you need muscle to support that knee, it worked for me, hope it helps

clicky knees usually means your gait (or knee-flexion, squating movement) is not right. It's fixed by strengthening your legs in general and fixing muscular imbalances between the abductors, adductors, and rectus femoris.
You just need to get more fit, intelligently. Find the imbalances and fix them. Be mindful of correct posture and muscle activation when you walk. Get stronger.

Some people also have glute amnesia and/or anterior pelvic tilt from sitting and sleeping too much. If the glutes don't fire correctly a lot of pressure travels down your quads and compensating ab- and adductor muscles right into your knee causing irritation and clicking.

Calf raise and maybe tibia raise, you can start with short ROM and just bw or even assisted at first then build up to a full ROM. This improve the strength, mobility and stability of you ankle and arch. Dont do this if you do something that might strain your lower leg around the same time, you need to recover to adapt

Generally because:
1. They don't know that you can go directly to physiotherapy, and often only need 1-2 appointments to find the correct exercises
2. Don't know about massage or chiropractor
3. They went, but whoever they saw was a incompetent retard who could not be arsed to research or follow up properly

I have this exact problem. It's particularly painful when lifting off/stepping off from the ball of the foot right? Went to an osteopath for it. She diagnosed that it was due to doing too much too soon (I was walking 5 miles daily and more on the weekends). She told me to avoid walking on uneven ground for a couple weeks and gave me exercises to do to increase my balance. Also to massage the instep with a hard tennis ball. I would recommend an osteopath, she also massaged the calf.
