Osteonecrosis
Hello,
I am a 27 YO female and have had sesamoid osteonecrosis for several years. The diagnosis was confirmed through an xray. Mine is in my left foot, inner sesamoid. It's gotten to the point that the bone is large and irregularly shaped and collapsing. I have tried different types of shoes (Brooks, Hoka, etc) and custom orthotics per my podiatrist's recommendation. Injections have helped a little, but I don't like the long term side effects. Walking is painful no matter what I do, and as a result of this, I have also developed Achilles tendinitis from trying to avoid pain. The right side of my body is also taking a beating from the weight shift. My doctor refuses to do surgery on me because of my age and the aftermath could be worse off due to the big toe not being able to be anchored down properly. I plan on making another appointment, but does anyone have anything that could help me? I really hate this 😔
