Overuse of sesamoid bones in foot-dr gave me a "post op shoe" to wear for a week. will this help at all? dr did not seem to understand much i said...

Yes: The surgical shoe stabilized the great toe joint where the sesamoids are located. An X-ray should be taken to see if there any arthritic or fracture to the sesamoids. Anti inflammatory medications help as well.
