Pain in the ball of the foot needs expert evaluation. Some people come into my office with a diagnosis of sesamoiditis and X rays show an obvious fracture. There are times when patients are told they have a fracture but they were really born with a condition called bipartate sesamoids . That is where the bone is split into two bones at birth. The difference in the diagnosis results in very different treatments. I treat many dancers and gymnasts with these conditions. Don't lose weeks of dance and other activities because of a sesamoid injury. We can help you get better faster.
