Running injury self-diagnosis and self-treatment. Strategies for rapid recovery of
running injuries.
I got a question from an injured runner, and she wants to know about the amount of time it takes to heal a stress reaction in the sesamoid bone in your foot.
She said:
“I have had a stress reaction in my tibial sesamoid that led to a lot of pain and swelling. I am reading mixed reviews on healing time. I have been off it for three weeks now, either on crutches and taping the toe to immobilize it or in a walking boot with tape on the toe and sesamoid dancing pads to avoid pressure on the bone. I am a 38-year-old healthy female.”
Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast, we're talking about sesamoid stress reactions and the expected healing time.
