I've had a fractured sesamoid for about 9 months now. I found out it was fractured about 6 months about and got orthotics and haven't run at all since then.
It's a clean break, my sesamoid is in 2 pieces, one larger than the other. On another x-ray recently it showed the 2 pieces moved slightly farther apart. So now I'm in a boot hoping they come closer together.
Has anyone dealt with a fractured sesamoid? I'd like to wait for it to heal but not sure if surgery to remove the smaller piece of bone is the best option. Has anyone had theirs heal? How long did it take? Any surgery experiences? Or has anyone run through a fractured sesamoid? I'm worried it's not going to heal. I'm not in a lot of pain but think that running would make it worse. I miss running.
