A member asked:
I have had sesamoiditis for 9 months now, what is the best way to heal it: therapy, injections, or surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Long time: 9 months is a long time. If you have already had therapy, injections and immobilization then surgery is probably the only other solution.
