What Is Sesamoiditis?
Sesamoiditis is an inflammation of the sesamoid bones, two small, pea-shaped bones located beneath the head of the first metatarsal bone in the ball of the foot, near the big toe. These bones act like pulleys, providing leverage for the big toe and absorbing shock during movement. When they become inflamed due to overuse or injury, it results in localized pain and tenderness.
Sesamoiditis Symptoms
-
Pain under the big toe, typically worsening with activity.
-
Swelling or bruising around the ball of the foot.
-
Difficulty bending or straightening the big toe.
-
Tenderness when pressing on the area beneath the big toe joint.
-
A dull ache that can progress to a sharp, throbbing pain.
Causes of Sesamoiditis
Sesamoiditis often results from repetitive stress or overuse, particularly in activities that place pressure on the ball of the foot, such as running, jumping, or dancing. Wearing high heels or shoes with thin, unsupportive soles can also contribute to its development. Biomechanical factors, like having flat feet or a high arch, can also increase susceptibility to this condition.
