A member asked:
Is sesamoiditis helped with a boot? i am a college runner and dont want to take time off but nothing is helping (custom orthotics, some time off, ice, etc?

Custom orthotics : Sesamoiditis is a problem that is very difficult to resolve. What you mentioned in your question is mostly physical therapy to the area. This is very helpful but you want to prevent it from reoccurring and not becoming a chronic problem or even fracturing the sesamoid bone. For someone like yourself I would recommend a custom orthotic made by sports medicine podiatrist
