So I had a Bunionectomy done and set with a pin about 10yrs ago. For the past year I have been having pain and redness at the ball of my toe and the top of my toe where the scar is, off and on, more so when I’m standing or walking on it for a long period of time, just a few days ago I banged it pretty hard and the pain came on and has not gone away. I went to an Ortho Urgent Care and they took an X-Ray, the doctor told me the X-Ray’s came back fine and there was no sight of any fractures. I have been reading up on this Sesamoiditis and I’m concerned I could have developed this and just aggravated it more when I banged my toe. I have been taking an anti-inflammatory and I do wear Orthothics in my shoes and that’s because I am on my feet all day so I need the extra support, but once the pain comes there’s no helping it. Wondering if Sesamoiditis could be the problem and if I should see a podiatrist.
