I have been taking a break this year for 4 things. One is to write a blog post each week for one of the best orthotic laboratories in America. It has been my honor, and has taken a lot of my time. I have attached a link to that medical forum above. The second reason for my break was I needed to have open heart surgery on Oct 11th, 2023. I had my first of 36 cardiac rehab sessions today, so the next 3 months will help build back my strength. I am so happy to be alive. My aortic valve was failing and I literally had 3-4 months left before I would have died. I have known about this for 16 years, but I finally went into heart failure at the beginning of this year. To those who knew about this, thank you for all your prayers and good thoughts. The 3rd reason for my break was I published Book 2 and Book 3 of my Practical Biomechanics for the Podiatrist. Book 1 also came out this year in Spanish. So, I have been busy with things I love. The 4th and best reason for my break was for trips and other celebrations (one in England's Sussex County) with my family. Today is December 1st, 2023. It is the day I vowed to start my blog again. If you will join me, I am grateful. Rich Blake

Hi Dr. Blake. I came across your blog as I was scouring the internet for information about sesamoid fractures. I have a 14 yr old make athlete who has been suffering from sesamoid pain for about 2 yrs. We are on our third podiatrist. The first two doctors claimed my son had sesamoiditis. During this time one MrI was done and the report stated it was not a fracture. We switched to a third podiatrist after no improvements. We had another MRI done. The report came back as no sesamoid fracture again. However, the doctor had them go back and look at the MRI bc he saw a fracture. Do you still review MRI’s? Any help is greatly appreciated!!! We are deflated from all these doctor visits with little result. Thank you!
