 Posted: 12/15/06 - 09:09 Post subject: Will sesamoiditis go away or is this forever? |
  |
|
| I have been diagnosed with sesamoiditis. After five weeks, I finally got in to see the podiatrist, and he told me what the pain was. He didn't seem too concerned that it wouldn't go away since it has started to get better on its own but couldn't give me an timeframe for when this would happen. I have been going to see a chiropractor for ultrasound to drive the inflammation out because life goes on and I have to work. Is this a condition that lasts forever? Will I always be in pain? I'm not a runner or a dancer and wear orthotics normally so I'm not sure why this has happened. The doctor seems to think that I hurt it somehow, perhaps by stepping on something, but I don't remember doing anything. Can anyone give me some hope that this will pass? Thank you. |

| I've been diagnosed with sesamoiditis also, I have it since last october (4 months now). On the first 3 weeks I almost could not walk, then I started taking antinflammatories and it kind of went away...but not for long! 2 months later it came back, now its less painful (but still painful!!!) it is very unconfortable because I can walk only by steping on the outer part of my foot. Again doctor told me to take antinflammatories (mobicox and then prexige) but they are not working any longer. I use orthotics which make walking kind of easy but I have my doubts. Xrays came out OK, no fracture of the sesamoids but edema and inflammation. I soak my foot in hot water every night, I'm still working out (jogging, spinning) because it makes no difference and I'm icing my foot after. I know I'm not being helpful, but I'm also interested on knowing if this is forever or it will go away. Wish you luck! |
