Sesamoiditis is
the inflammation of the sesamoid bones. These tiny little
bones are located under the head of the first metatarsal
bone (big toe) The purpose of the sesamoid bones is to aid in the smooth
functioning of the tendons when you move and flex your toes.
Because of the
location, these little bones are prone to injury: bruising,
stress fractures and crushing. One or both bones may be
affected.
Depending on the severity of the injury, the pain can very
intense.
Sesamoiditis is typically
caused by trauma to the sesamoid bones. Jumping down
from something and landing hard on the ball of your foot,
is common. People who play basketball, volleyball,
do dancing, or ballet, often suffer from sesamoiditis.
Wearing flat hard shoes can contribute
to the painful condition.
Structurally high arches can put more pressure on the
sesamoid bones. For the ladies, those fancy high-heels
can make the condition worse, as too much pressure is
forced down onto the ball of the foot.
Degenerative Arthritis can be a factor. When the bones
become rough and pitted, they damage and even tear the tendons that use these
little bones as a fulcrum.
Pain can be intense in this case.
