Sesamoiditis? Or something else
so I’ve had this pain before and they said it was gout- I wasn’t sure. this time it started after I walked around on my keens sandals for four days, not even super actively but it was the heatwave. started with only hurts a little while flexing the toe up, to only hurts when not standing directly on the forefoot, to hurting while resting, to thumping and swelling and turning my whole foot red. I’m now about a week out from when I first had symtoms, and even if I start the day relatively neutral after elevating all night, I will undoubtedly have throbbing pain at night. now elevating and I’m having nerve pain too in between the big toe and second. feels like my foot is getting crushed. no regular pain solutions help anymore. I’ve had an xray and no breaks, so the advice was to take advil and keep resting. for how long??
is this in line with what other people are experiencing? how long did it take to find any reloef? even scooting around to do a dish or a laundry load feels impossible, immediate swelling.
