Hey all,
I have been to the doc multiple times (got a second opinion) so not looking so much for medical advice as for others experiences. Had x-rays and an MRI, orthotics and follow ups. Diagnosis is a stress reaction and sesamoiditis. No visible fracture. I am about 9 weeks out without running and losing my mind! I have an orthotic which prevents me from bending my big toe and has a cut out area for my sesamoid but I find it pretty uncomfortable. I can swim but sometimes kicking ticks off my foot and I have to use a pull buoy. Biking with resistance tics off my foot. Hell some days walking ticks off my foot. I have come along way as I can walk without a limp but I am getting frustrated. I tried a steroid injection 2 weeks ago just in case it could help, but it ticked it off more.
How long has this lasted for you and was there anything that seemed to make it better?
I appreciate your thoughts!
