Sesamoidectomy and still in pain
by: Kels on Fri, May 02 2008

I am 18 and a gymnast and about a year ago I had surgery to remove my sesamoid that I had fractured 9 months earlier. I tried a stiff soled shoe, orthotics PT, cortizone injections, and a cast with no prevail. I said heck with it and decided to finish my senior season in gymnastics (not well) and then had the surgery. A year later with 2 months of PT and 9 months without gymnastics I am still in considerable pain, can’t wear high heals, do gymnastics, or run. What on earth could still be hurting for goodness sakes, the bone is gone! I am so frustrated and I don’t feel like going back to the doctor, what can they do?
