I wish I knew the answer. The Exogen once a day bone stimulator for 9 months, with good diet of Vit D and Calcium, and the creation of a pain free environment seems to have worked for many. The design of a good protective weight bearing insert and stable cushioned shoe are crucial. Good luck.

I am told that I need surgery and I am uncertain as to whether I can "re-vive" a dead bone or not. I have had MRI's and x-rays, the MRI from 31.07.2014 shows the same as the most recent in May 2015. In the MRI it shows black and in the x-ray's it shows as white. Is there any hope in helping the sesamoid or would surgery be the only way forward? <br /><br />Many thanks for your time and patience. <br /><br />Best regards, <br />NouschkaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14085683205399485513noreply@blogger.com
