What's the best treatment for painful sesamoids?

Were is the sesmoid?: I think you are talking about the foot, non-surgical treatment: padding called dancer pad. Removal of callus surgical treatment, removal of the sesmoid bone surgical.

Further Evaluate: If pain has been ongoing for several daysand or an injury occurred then have it evaluated with xrays to rule out a fracture or possibly by an MRI to rule out stress injury. Rarely is surgery indicated. Most sesamid problems can be treated conservatively by unloadind the sore spot on the seasmoids. Rest, proper shoe wear, dancer pads, modifying a cleat putting pressure on the sesamoids can help.
