[ Ссылка ] Seattle Podiatrist Larry Huppin discusses the treatments for sesamoiditis, including hints on how to treat it yourself and when to seek professional care.

Sesamoiditis is the inflammation of the small bones under the big toe joints and can lead to pain in the ball of the foot. It can usually be treated conservatively but pain in this area can also be caused by fractures of the sesamoids, so if you are not better in a couple weeks be sure to see a podiatrist. Sesamoiditis tends to be more common in people with high arches or bunions. Also we often see it in people who participate in jumping sports such as volleyball and basketball.
