A member asked:
Diagnosed with l medial sesamoiditis (xray clean). getting worse &pain lingers but in springboard diving season. dangerous to continue through pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: Xrays should typically be rechecked at 14 days after initial injury... as a stress fracture does not show up right away. If your pain is getting worse I recommend getting seen again or a 2nd opinion! I personally would not continue with springboard until a decrease in pain and healing has occurred.
