If you get an aching pain under the big toe joint, it might be an injury to one of the two little bones called the sesamoid bones. 

The sesamoid bone injuries make me super nervous. If you are a runner and you start getting pain and irritation if the sesamoids, you do not want to ignore it. 

I just got off a call with a woman who had sesamoiditis. She wanted to make sure that she was not doing anything to slow the recovery of her sesamoid stress fracture.

With summer coming up, she wanted to know what kind of sandals she might be able to wear.

What summer sandals should I wear if I have sesamoiditis? 

Well, that is a good question and that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
