Anyone know if mixed doubles will race on Saturday again?

Anyone with only severe inflammation (no fracture) have success with shockwave therapy? How many sessions did it take you to feel results?

Looking for advice on how to request an MRI and/or physical therapy referral for sesamoiditis that hasn’t improved after 6 months.

I injured my foot in January and was diagnosed with sesamoiditis (No fracture, just severe inflammation). Since then I’ve tried conservative treatment including activity modification, supportive shoes, inserts/met pads, anti-inflammatories, and periods of reduced activity. Despite all of this, I’m still having flare-ups and pain that affect my daily life.

The only imaging I’ve had was a single X-ray taken about a week after the initial injury at urgent care. No additional imaging has been done since then and I’ve only had one appointment with a podiatrist in March.

I work as an EMT, so having healthy, functional feet is critical for my job. When my foot flares up, it’s difficult to perform my job safely, and I can’t keep taking time off work every time the pain worsens.

How did you approach your podiatrist about getting an MRI or a physical therapy referral? Do I need to do a follow up appointment or will messaging my podiatrist be sufficient?

Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone here suffer from sesamoiditis? Any tips on how you manage it when training for Hyrox?
