[Amy Smart]

This means not putting the foot in front of a heater or other Urgent Fungus Destroyer Review heat source. If it does occur, then the best approach is to use a cream to stimulate the local circulation, but many of the creams may work due to the gentle rubbing of the area. There are some medications that can be used in the more severe ones, but they work by keeping the blood vessels open. This may have side effects elsewhere as the opening of the blood vessels are not restricted to just the foot.

Anatomy of the Sesamoid

Each of the two sesamoids found under the big toe joint have specific names. The sesamoid closer to the little toe side of the foot is termed the fibular sesamoid, and the sesamoid found on the big toe side of the foot is called the tibial sesamoid. If one of the oval shaped bones is in two pieces, it is termed bipartite and if the sesamoid is found in many pieces, it is termed a multipartite. Finally, the sesamoids are anchored to each other, also to the hallux and the first metatarsal by various ligaments and tendons.

Diagnosis of Sesamoid Disorders

To diagnose sesamoiditis the doctor will press on the bottom of the foot in the area of both sesamoids. If pain is elicited when one or both of these bones is palpated the doctor will know that the patients pain is coming from an injured sesamoid bone. An important part of diagnosing sesamoiditis is to evaluate the bones with X-ray imaging. Sesamoiditis cannot be seen on x-ray. The x-ray is used for ruling out other conditions in this area such as fracture, bone tumor or arthritis.

Non-surgical Treatment of Sesamoid Disorders

Before surgical treatment is considered, non-surgical treatments are always tried. If the pain on the sesamoids is due to the presence of callused skin, the podiatrist may remove the callus with a scalpel. In the case of sesamoiditis, the first line of treatment is to get the pressure off of the bone. This can be accomplished by applying a Dancer's pad to the foot. This is a pad made of felt or silicone; it has a curved cut out to allow the sesamoid to float.
