Sesamoiditis: Sesamoiditis is an inflammation of the sesamoid bones that are beneath the ball of your foot. Initial treatment includes anti-inflammatory medicine and ice. Insoles can also be helpful. It is crucial to visit a podiatrist to ensure the sesamoid bones are not fractured. Long term treatment can include custom foot orthotics to keep the pressure away from the sesamoid in the future.
