Bottom lin...I have AVN of the sesamoid, long story. Bottom line: off load for 3-4 months but DON'T stress out the other foot doing so - which means babying both feet for the entire time you are in the awful boot -or else you might find you get fracture or AVN in other foot (it happened to me). Don't go barefoot EVER, ANYWHERE. Use Oofos inside your home (or Teleks). No high heels ever.again. get used to it. Buy & use the Exogen machine 2x/day even though it's $500. Get custom orthotic inserts, pay out of pocket if your insurance won't. It takes a LONG TIME to heal - if you are lucky and not too far gone. You can't push or rush it, so pain is very important information to guide your level of activity, therefore avoid NSAIDs to mask the pain. Find the right shoe for you - Hoka One One Bondi model works for many people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
