First of all, let me say welcome to the forum, Dragster.
I have not experienced the kinds of problems you discuss. However, due to a very serious car crash, my late girlfriend had to have her toe joints replaced (among other things). The process was both painful and required long-term recuperation.
My personal opinion of the medical profession is rather low, but some of them really are worth their salt. Still, the very best of them will tell you that surgical results are dicey
and cannot be guaranteed. Moreover, IMO, you're seldom as strong after surgery as you were before. Usually, the part that required surgery is left a little bit weaker than when you started-out.
Dragster, based upon your description of your medical problems, I'd say that heels are probably not for you. You'll be lucky
if you don't have to have corrective surgery again. Unless you are prepared to pay exhorbitant prices to have custom made heels, you probably should leave heels alone.
I often have to look at things and just shrug and say I can't afford it. What I'm saying is that the total expenditure, both monitarily and otherwise, is simply greater than what I am able to pay. I think you're going to have to say the same thing about heels.
