- 🦶If you have sesamoid bone pain, this sesamoiditis treatment guide is FOR YOU! 🦶
We go over the top causes of sesamoiditis pain in your sesamoid bone as well as sesamoid fracture treatment. We focus on the tibial sesamoid as well as the fibular sesamoid that make up your big toe joint pain.
The sesamoid bones are located in the foot at the level of the big toe joint. These are two bones comprised of the tibial sesamoid and the fibular sesamoid. If irritated this leads to an inflammatory condition called sesamoiditis.

For the shoes and orthotics recommended in the video: wp.me/p9imRX-54n
I have huge thick callus under my ball of foot.
Starting running again after deconditioning (AKA graduate school), already predisposed with hammertoes and high arches.
I have a bruise then had little pain now it's so sore I can't walk cud it be broken
Hi there,
My left foot is pronated and my right toe has may be sesamoditis what kind of shoes you will recommend to me.
And what kind of Exercise I have to do to solve both problems.
Fractured and displaced my sesamoid bones landing on someone's foot in a basketball game when I was 17.
Thank you for putting this video together. Super informative. I finally know why my foot's been hurting (probably from longer than usual walks).
Thank you so much for this video. It’s to the point yet you’ve given all the info you need to know concisely. Love it, thanks again!!
Love your videos. Good information, the best.
Thank you for this video! I have 2 doctors that never mentioned this.
Thank you for pointing out on what sesamoiditis is and the some of the ways to help it heal.
Thank you so much! I am waiting on an MRI to make sure I don't have a fracture(x-rays were clear), but they can't see me for another month (ack!) so I will follow these instructions. I have rather small, bony feet with high arches and apparently I have over-used them with dancing, gardening, etc. (I am 63) It's the worst pain I have ever felt! Was initially on crutches and used a walking boot and also bought the carbon fiber insert and now I need to get the shoes and sandals and slippers. Off to your website and thanks again! UA-cam doctors are so helpful!
Buenisimo video !!!!
This helped relieve pain immediately!
Excellent taping tip, thank you!!
Thanks for watching, we appreciate you!
How long we should tape?
Thank you!
Thanks for being such as great fan! we really really appreciate you watching and giving us such great feedback.

I thought I has gout 🤣. Thanks for this. Didn't even know asesamoid existed. Boy after running. I do now.
great shoe, great orthotics..do mind sharing what is the criteria and features for a great shoe and orthotics ?
Thanks for the video, it was so engaging!! If you have time I have a question. What is a bipartite sesamoid? It said it on my bone scan, but I am confused over what it means. It is a problem or just the name of a bone.
Been suffering with sesamoiditis for over a year now. Originally got it from running too much but it didn't fully heal even after I reduced running and started cycling. Got an mri which confirmed sesamoiditis. Stopped running entirely and also massively reduced cycling. The foot didnt feel any better 6 months later so got another mri scan. Apparently the foot had managed to get even worse and is now borderline fracture. Currently wearing a boot for 2 months. Genuinely one of the most frustrating injuries there are. Even small walks are painful.
How are you doing now?
@@sanpat2220 slowly improving. I did end up getting a stress fracture in the end but that’s healed. Just waiting for the rest of medial sesamoiditis to go. It’s a long process and the only way I’ve found it heals is with complete rest.
I feel your pain , 5 years on and a couple of k down and no better , as painful as ever
How are you doing now?
@@dingdong6005 nearing pain free walking. Could be running again soon but need to be very careful

I’m so glad I found these videos 🥺 learning my foot is not ok haha. My seamoid is completely out, feels like I’m walking on my foot pad no bone
Hoep you feel better soon!
How are you doing now?
Thank you for this video! I broke one of my left sesamoids and didn’t even know it! There wasn’t much pain but it was sore enough for me to get it checked out. The podiatrist has me “floating the bone” with a dancers pad, but I’m going to tape my toe too. He wasn’t specific about what sort of shoes or exercises I can do, so I’m using common sense. Your information has been very helpful.

Hey I just wanted to see how your foot has been as I have had this same injury too and I'm unsure how to fix it.
This is exactly what happened with me. Curious if your doc told you to discontinue any exercise? I’m in a post-surgical shoe and am frustrated that I am cleared to walk around but do no static leg exercises.
I was diagnosed years ago with sesamoiditis and my podiatrist never mentioned tight calf muscles causing issues. He just suggested I get injections or surgery to remove them. He told me I didn't need them. Needless to say I never went back. I just use foot pads when inflamed. Knowing stretching my calf muscles can help gives me hope!! Will give it a try!!
what kind of pads do you use?
so it helped ?
It would be helpful to have the taping segment done more slowly !
I had one of my sesamoid bones removed years ago. As of yesterday out of the blue the tendon there got really painful and swollen. I’m really petite and I drive a school bus. I think I damaged it driving. Repetition. If it doesn’t get better in a couple of days, I’ll have to go back to my doctor
Hi, great info! The table for women's walking shoes is not available. Is there another way to find the list please?
i was born with a fissure { split } in one of mine would like an array of different things to do or wear to prevent flare up
I have it on one side. Probalby from hiking. Maybe also for a short oppoitse leg 0.5 inch discrepancy. I don't want to stop hiking. stopped using sketchers. Have shoe inserts from my podiatrist. What I found that helps is a different shoe. For me, the Red Wing Classic MOC. It's flat and sturdy, and doesn't need inserts, but as soon as I put the sketchers back on, with the perscription inserts, pain agian, even in a half day.
bro im like with running, i stop since one month but i want to go back! (trail running) i dont have shoe insert, it's recommended apparently, but i change a lot of shoes and stuff i dont think it will be super effective for me. what do u think? it's hurting on a walking day if i put my finger and push strongly, if not it's fine.
I broke my sesamoid after battling seismoiditis from excessive heel wearing. I feel it mainly on the top of my foot though. It's so painful even a year after the foot breaking. Just waiting for my other foot to break any day
Hi, im currently bed ridden for past week with sesamoiditis flare up.. Pain is severe. Can anyone please advise me what is best NSAID for sesamoiditis healing? Im using Prednisone 20 mg every morning and 3x daily 400mg ibuprofen or 3x dexketoprofen 25mg. I believe it is going away slowly now after 7 days. But I believe I will still be needing another 10 days to start mooving properly. Thns everyone.
Played basketball all my life and I remember one day I woke up and could hardly walk. Don’t even remember how I injured it. 8 years later and I’m still in pain daily. Just learned to live with it. But I’m officially sick of it. Over the years I’ve learned when I get a flare up, rest and massaging helps slightly. Stretching it just makes it worse for me. Never have gotten it looked at by a doctor but might go see a foot specialist idk.
I’ve broken both sesamoids in my feet due to extensive walking, OCD (clenching) and flat feet. Is there anything I can do to alleviate my pain and possibly assist healing? My podiatrist told me mine will probably never heal due to pressure being putout on it.
You missed me. Both Sesmoid bones in my right foot are fractured and now have arthritis. The Los Angeles Doctors want to remove one of the bones. I could be laid up for up to a year.
I have pain below the sesmoids what could be reason
I can easily bending my big toe up. I only got pain when oressing from behind from the direction from my heel to the toes.
What if your big toe gets caught on the floor and rolls under your foot can that cause sesamoiditis?
Mine pops out of place when I walk but generally from going back to strengthaning and stretching exercises it has been ok. The toe thats more affected does look like it might be starting to turn inwards potentially trying to bunion? Orthotics made mine worse and fell apart within 2 weeks anyway and my feet would slide around in them.
I have understand, bruising, redness and swelling can be the sign of a fracture. Petechiae can appear with injury, are they also a sign of fractures. Thanks for the informative video😊
Thanks for the great response Fuzzle Buzzles!
Unfortunately, petechiae can mean fracture, or it can just mean bruising. They are definitely a sign of injury, but even no bruising can still show a fracture on an X-ray. There is no perfect way to diagnose it without more advanced imaging.
If possible, we would appreciate a quick & easy rating from you, and a good rating makes a BIG difference for us!

Thanks again for watching!
Thank you for doing this video! Mines been hurting for a few weeks now. Not sure what I did to it exactly. Could possibly be me using the treadmill snd doing something there. I haven’t been to a doctor yet. Hoping the pain will subside on its own. Could you take pain reliever?
We know you want a more detailed response, and believe us if allowed we would love to give more specific information.
Unfortunately we have to let you know how important it is to see your podiatrist in person to get a more detailed response.
There are just so many variables and risks for giving information without a proper physical exam in person.
Good luck and we hope you feel better soon. We really appreciate you as a fan.

How are you doing now?
sir my knee joint have a sesamoind bond..and its very pain..how to treatment it
Podrían ponerlo en español
I was born without a sesamoid bone. I have excruciating pain and was diagnosed with sesamoiditis. It's been more than a decade. Nearly every year, I get a major flare-up and I can't walk for weeks. I just want to feel normal and be able to wear heels and feel sexy again. I don't want to live like this anymore.
it comed from just only one jogging session when was lots of snow happened to be landed where ive usually jogged and that soft snow irritated that toe so fast i coud not almost do nothing to prevent it
I’ve had sesamoiditis in the fibular sesamoid of my left foot since 2019. In September 2022 it evolved into a stress fracture. After 6 weeks in an orthopedic boot and plenty of physio, orthotics and better footwear, I was back to 80% of my normal capacity. Unfortunately I developed tendinitis in my right foot over this summer and that has caused a flare-up of the inflammation… I’m considering surgery and will see my surgeon on 1 September. Last year the surgeon talked about screw fixation, but I’m afraid that the problem may reoccur when the screw is taken out as my patience has already been tested for a long time with these multiple injuries. At this stage, would you recommend going for a removal as opposed to screw fixation? Is there a way to replace the bone with something else to help stabilize the joint? Thanks.

I've been walking in vivobarefoot minimal shoes and running barefoot on a treadmill. I am now experiencing this.
Been wearing vibobarefoot shoes for like 6 years. I think I mildly hurt mine running in them years ago but 2 days ago walking to work must have been the straw that broke the camels back cause I can hardly walk now. I think minimalist shoes are a blessing but have downsides too, especially in our concrete world.
I didn't get the pain there until have the bone spur on top of my big toe removed why did that happen
I broke my sesamoid on Nov 13 its still broken and i have surgery on may 17 for a bone graft
Hello and thank you for the full of information video! I am facing a different issue. It's subhallucial interphalangeal sesamoiditis. I have tried many things to alleviate the pain i feel while i walk but i have not faced any relief! So, what do you susggest ?
Personally I would double check this with an X-ray and an ultrasound to check for fracture/injury or bone bruising, then I would, get a premade insole with some metatarsal padding to attempt to offload the area and assess any decrease in symptoms/pain. I would also perform a biomechanical exam, frequently there is increased pressure due to tight back/hamstring/calf that worsens the issue. 😊🙏
@@DrTomBiernacki thank you very much! You are right, back/hmstrings and calves to both leg are everyday tight. I do stretches when i have time, almost everyday! Trying to find a shoe that could help me, recently i tried hoka clifton and bondi and it seems that it feels better with clifton but not in bondi and i don't know why they both are the same. Of course i don't know if feeling well with clifton is only temporary and after days pain will start again! During all these years i bought many shoes that are supposed to help me but nothing happened! I also use carbon fiber turf toe insole only for the painful foot but i can't say it helps..OK maybe little bit!
Thank fucking you sir!! Finally can explain this to my Doc.
Thank you so much for your help Tom, my MRI says there is a small fluid collection at the plantar to the sesamoid. I’m having all sorts of pain in the sesamoid. Do you believe that is what is causing my pain? It does say the hallux sesamoid complex is preserved.

Thank you, but now i don't know if i still have the gout, or now the sesamoiditis ... !!! ! !!! :-/ :-(
I was doing claves raises on a machine, after few hours, my left toe started hurting! At first, I thought it was gout because it swole up! Did blood test and my uric acid is normal. It's tender on the bottom and medial side of my toe. I can flex my toe, but not much on extension. I just ordered my carbon fiber insole. Hope this will help.
Its been 1 year for u and i've the same problem. Are you revoverd from this?
How are you doing now ?
What if one of those lilttle bones is fractured?...
Think I have grade 1 turf toe on right side from pushing the prowler/sled in the gym. Should I tape up for general day to day moving around or when training only? Thanks.

What was the shoe insert you showed in the video?
Check the links and show notes, plenty of great options!
Ho problemi ai sesamoidite del piede destro dal 1996...mi hanno rovinato parte della mia vita. dolore continuo, ho dovuto mollare diversi sport. un disastro. in Italia nessuno mi ha risolto il problema.
Hi, I broke in 2 parts my external sesamoid in June.
Walked with a boot during 3/4 weeks And moved only when necessary,
Then I had custom orthotics with soft material under the sesamoide
It’s 17 October and I still use the orthotics but I fell a little pain at the middle of the feet where I put all the pressure to save the sesamoide
I try to be healthy 100% I don’t smoke drink a lot of water, eating fibre so it will fix faster
Last month I went to a surgeon, for the first time in 3 months I moved my big toe, I always had pain but he stretched it whitout hesitating, he told me it’s very rough and I have pain because it’s not moving enough
Today it’s been 4 months and a half and I fell like a can walk correctly but I’m still scared a lot to go skate again, I’m scared that It will break again.
I can move my toe how I want, no longer big, my toe and sesamoide area is kinda like my other feet, I don’t fell pain, I fell something weird but that must be because I changed my way of walking ?
Not sure about this but
Not sure if I should go to normal shoes and walk like nothing or if I still should wait...
Any advice on my situation ? It would be very helpful
Thanks a lot
How are you doing now ?
@@sanpat2220 thanks for asking, much better, like if nothing ever happened, I can skate like before and still do big gaps, nothing hurts.
If you have sesamoid broken best solution is really to stay home and wait, walk with orthotics outside and once you’re good buy footprints insoles (they’re the best on the market) for everyday and your sport activity if you’re still scared, I purchased a pair once I started skating again and I still use it.
@@djoyds7606 hi thanks glad to hear you are much better. My sesomoides are not broken but they just aggravated and have inflammation. Every time I walk a lot it flares up . What type of orthopedic did you use ?
@@sanpat2220 don’t really know it was made by a feet doctor
I broke mine for walking how hours as a teen and I just rebroke it 6 years later it never healed fully.
Any links for those inserts?
They’re in his description
Is it common for thick callus to form under the ball of the foot while suffering sessimoditis?
The two conditions can be related for sure
@@DrTomBiernacki why and how does this occur?
I fractured my tibial sesamoid (I am a ballet dancer) and I’ve got the x-rays to prove it! I’ve been seeing a orthopaedic doctor for 4 months and wearing a boot but I am still experiencing pain and unable to articulate my big toe without pain. Any advice? I am aching to dance again!
Btw i had never heard about not being barefoot!!! Hoping that being barefoot less often helps, thanks! ☺️
Ive had a pain/cramp/spasm around my left big toe area when i walk. it started about 18 months ago every now & again, but now happens every walk after a few hundred meters. Saw a foot & ankle specialist, they did ultrasound, xray & MRI & saw "mild sesamoiditis" but didnt think this was the cause. had my left ankle,calf,knee , hip & lumbar spine MRI'd and all is OK.
Wondering if any ideas from here ?? Not sure where to turn next or what to try :(
How are you doing now?
How are you doing now ?
ive just got this injury from a gym session on the treadmil...it sucks!
Are you revoverd yet?
@@plain6479 Ah yeah...i just rested up and took a break from the treadmill or activities using my feet. Took a couple of weeks to where it was confortable again then all was good.I just done other workouts in the gym whilst i was healing up weights etc.I also purchased some new better running shoes with better shock absorbers (soles/tread) it's all about the quality of shoe IMO 😊 but rest is probably ya best bet. happy healing! 👊
@@adammassacre1981 glad to hear that from you, i also got this kind of injury from calf raises, any idea how long it takes to fully recovery? Cause i see a lot of people need to takes a year to get full revovery before they can go back to their activities And should i avoid a leg day? Thanks in advence🤗
@@plain6479 after a couple of weeks rest I fealt fine I think I got lucky and just had a naughty sprain and not an actual break. A break of course would be more serious and I would avoid doing anything that would put any kind of stress on the injured area and consider maybe an x-ray to see what's going on if its persisting to be an issue. I'm no expert though so I also suggest you go see a specialist for advice.
My fiance broke his sesamoid in 2014 and did not find out till Dec 2020 and it is still broken. He got a steroid inj and it helped but here we are once again. Pain and inflamation. We use heat, advil, as well as taping the foot as you've shown. Do you have any recommendations on what else we should do?
Did you ever get relief for this? I’m in the same boat and they’re talking about surgery :(
Can l leave the tape overnight? Or for how long?
It can, KT tape can be helpful as well.
I’ve had pain for 14 months 🤦♀️
Doc question, my Sesamoid only hurts when I put pressure on the foot from walking. No pain when not walking. Do you believe I have a fracture if it does not hurt when no pressure is applied? Would a fractured sesamoid hurt all the time?
Christian Garcia I have had a fractured tibial sesamoid for 2.5 years and it doesn’t hurt all the time. I didn’t realize it was actually broken for the first year. The MRI suspected it but CT scan had to confirm it. It’s like a small chip in the front. This is a really complicated injury. Everyone’s story is different but it’s seems like for every one healing from a sesamoid bone fractures takes years and/or you get the surgery. I’m going non surgical because mine is not that bad. The shoes i found that work best are New Balance Fresh Foam More and Hoka Gaviotas or Bondis, with orthotics.
Non-surgical I mean. And yes mine has very slowly improved after wearing a boot and hardly walking for months, but I wore it for too long. I am trying to walk more and more in shoes and orthotics. The area is always irritated and has to be kept from bending. I’ve accepted it as probably a lifelong thing to deal with. Dr Richard Blake has a blog with lots of sesamoid injury advice. Also there’s a sesamoid injuries group on FB.
same case here. it just happened two days ago it hurts a lot at first.then i apply ice to relief pain. still im in pain when i walk i feel the pressure but i dragged my feet to be able to walk.
Hi there, I broke my sesamoid by pushing off too hard playing tennis. I am struggling to find the best shoes, because my hips do not like any difference in heel toe height. Any recommendations for zero drop or close to zero drop shoes which will help me heal my sesamoid? I am also currently waiting to be fitted for custom orthotics.
Personally I would avoid a zero drop shoe in this scenario. Consider something like a Hoka shoe or a Brooks beast.
@@DrTomBiernacki What about minimalist shoes??
I ran down the stairs, I was wearing very thin-soled boots, I felt immediate pain as my foot hit the floor.
The pain was gone, after 2 minutes it started again as I was walking on a flat surface.
This happened a week ago, and last night I felt that my foot was swollen and in a lot of pain (I've never hurt this much) and now I'm worried that it might have been more serious than I anticipated.
I was treating with ice twice a day, rest and ibuprofen.
I fell down the escalator on Vienna airport on February 21st 2020, I went to the doctor once in my country in march and I have chondromalancy II in my left knee (which bleed when I fell). Then pandemic hit, and everything closed and once it opened I am to scare to go to the doctor, but while on lockdown the sesamoids of my right foot started hurting, I am guessing I hurt them when I fell the escalator though I cannot be really sure, my sesamoids only hurt at night when resting, not when walking, and if it touch them to much, like massaging, I feel in my big foot like tickling like when you sit in the same position for too long and your foot feels like it has ants walking on it. Can it be treated? Did I break it? If I go to the doctor when there is a vaccine (hopefully in March) will it be too late to do something? Is it too late now, anything you say can be helpful, thank you very much!
Unfortunately diagnosis is the best answer in this case, we usually find things do get better but earlier diagnosis is always the best option if possible.
@@DrTomBiernacki thank you so much!!
This morning I woke up with an inflamed and painful feeling on that exact part of my foot. Never did any physical activities because a week ago I was just rushed to the ER because of some issues with my neck spine, the xray says its really straight thats why i’m having issues swallowing. Anyways yeah I was advice to rest & not lift heavy stuffs so I don’t understand why this is happening to me. It’s hard to walk now, i’m scared. Do I have to go to the hospital again or I can just tape it up like what you’ve shown? Please I hope you respond. TIA
I landed on a pointy rock trail running right onto my sesamoid bone and injured it. It took about a week or two before I could walk / run again. Since then though I feel like the sesamoid bone sticks out and is a lot more noticeable by looks and feel on my left foot that the injury happened on than my other foot. There is no pain at all but its as if the sesamoid bone is bigger now on the injured foot, can the injury have caused the bone to thicken/grow or something I just don't get it.
How are you doing now?
same as u but i feel the pain when i press strongly with my finger or long trail. i hope it will heal by itself
Will a fracture heal with these methods?
Check out some of our fracture videos on the homepage, they can give more info!
@@DrTomBiernacki is there one specific to sesamoid? I don't see it
I fractured and displaced my sesamoid bones when I was 17 and I was back on the field 1 month later. Never healed right. I'm 37 and it's really caught up to me, along with a torn hip labrum on the same leg. My body is all out of whack pelvis is twisted , not sure how to approach it as nothing has seemed to work and surgery not the solution I'm looking for.
I have the same manifestations of sesamoiditis but I am gouty. Do you think that gout has something to do with sesamoiditis?. I performed X-ray twice and they are normal.
An Xray wouldn’t show sesmoiditis, you’d need better imaging like an MRI
@@hens13 yes Xray saw nothing, but ultrasound yes for me !
6 weeks? I am now suffering for 3 years now. Considering giving up my practice to look at other work. Heartbreaking
3 years no improvement ? what did u try in 3 years to fix it ?
@@1111italia1111 I have had somewhat improvement but it does return. Insoles, injections, exercises etc
Kalenji shoes
Do you have a video about big to bending down not up? I've a lump under the big toe middle phalange. Is there a cure for it?🙏 Dr in the country I live in have no clue what is going on😂
It's less of an issue for most people but this could be the long extensor hallucis longus tendon, it is very likely, inflammed or swollen 🙏❤️😊
Yes, absolutely it's swollen and it's restricting my mobility. I feel like I'm not pressing the big to to the floor, therefore, can't really stand on the 3pod. Do you have any video about it? Or do you offer online consultations? @@DrTomBiernacki
Both of my feet are problematic from wearing 3&3/4” heels at my standing desk for a year. Who knew. (Don’t answer that…lol). Four years later and I still can’t wear heels and if I bend my toes and put weight on them (for example, do yoga) I’m back to square one. Six weeks, my a$$. Maybe in 6 years. Maybe.
What if everything about this is right, except the pain is on the top of my toe? I match all the symptoms for this exactly, but the pain is on top of my foot, not on the bottom.
it will go to th bottom in some month. i did it too! ahah
I’ve had Sesamoiditis for over 2 years, seen numerous specialists worn orthotics and still no sign of recovery.. #given up!! 😩
In challenging cases we usually see a high arch foot with a much tighter ankle leg leaning all of the bodyweight into the big toe joint. This means when the fracture improves, it just starts hurting right back up again. Generally there are more advanced ways to stretch the calf and leg out, I prefer daily stretching and then potentially using casting or procedure if indicated.
@@DrTomBiernacki thanks for the reply, I do have high arches, I've seen a podiatrist today and i have new orthotics and she has advised daily regular stretching exercises. regards
How are you doing now?
@@dingdong6005 my sesamoiditis is bearable, no better, no worse, but my other foot big toe is now terrible it’s lost flexibility and painful all the time - probably due to compensating for my left foot sesamoiditis.. 🤷♂️
@@RC-9 Hi! Are you feeling any better now?
Does sesamoiditis include throbbing and burning in the sesamoid area and making it sensitive to even touch the ground? I'm sick and tired of this fucking problem already.
Have you ever heard of someone returning to sports after suffering a sesamoid stress fracture?
Personally I would expect it for the vast majority of our patients. But not everyone is the same and there are non-unions that can occur for sure.
i can bend my big toe up but when i bend it down it hurts? is it still sesamoid or whatever? also i tried the tape thingie but it felt like so much pressure on my foot even though i didnt put it so tight
Doesn’t sound like sesmoiditis at all
I'm going into the second month of this with pain and can't do anything!
You should go see a doctor or go to the hospital
Are you good now?
I had shin splints and couldnt run for a long time. Then I cured from it started running again and got this... probably just a inflamation
and now?
this guy needs antifungal cream
😀😂
