New injury
Hi!
I have been having foot pain off and on for a couple months but within the past week developed swelling, redness and more constant pain. It is to the point where I feel like I can’t put any weight on the ball of my foot below my big toe.
I went to urgent care yesterday for an X-ray and it did not show a fracture. The doctors advice was to try to stay off of it as much as possible for the next week.
After doing some research online, it seems like I am likely experiencing sesamoiditis (I’m guessing because I have been taking more intense dance classes).
My main concern right now is a trip that I have coming up next weekend. We are supposed to do a fair amount of walking and right now I feel like I can’t put any only put weight on the side of my foot.
Can anyone share what was helpful for walking after injury? Were you in a boot, or was a walking shoe with dancer pads a better option.
Thanks so much!
