You provide no PMH and little PE.
You need xrays,possibly MRI.Recurrent presentation would include fracture,hypertrophy of the sesamoid,infection,peripheral neuropathy,mechanical imbalance such as FF valgus,Hallux hammertoe with subluxed first MTP jt.Your differential has now been provided,and treatment should correspond respectively.
This does not sound like sesamoiditis.That condition would not require lancing.
Dr. toe.....send the patient back to the podiatric surgeon. |
