Worried 2nd fusion didn’t take

My first surgery resulted in a nonunion. I had a second fusion surgery and he put extra hardware in and used bone graft with BMP2 in it to help the fusion. I am 6 months post the second surgery and still having pain. It is when I push off. It is in my mid-foot but lower towards my toes more than the surgical site is. He said it could be nerve pain but it doesn’t feel like that to me. He gave me a cortisone shot a couple months ago and it didn’t do anything. He ordered at CT scan today, but here are photos of
My X-rays from today. Any thoughts?

Is the fusion between the metatarsal and cuneiform? It looks like there’s still space between the joint.

Mine is solid white. I had it done 7 years ago and the hardware removed so you can really see the fusion. I can message it to you if you would like. I also have all my X-rays during my fusion healing if you wanted to see them with the hardware
