Hi - You gave me advice about a sesamoid stress fracture a little over two years ago, and I was just thinking about how helpful this was while talking to another runner about injuries. I was really at a point of desperation when I emailed you! While it still acts up sometimes and I’ve scaled down my mileage, I was finally able to complete a training plan and just raced a 5:32 mile. This is a huge PR for me and something I’d never thought I could do two years ago! Thanks so much for your blog and providing thoughtful advice for difficult injuries.

Sesamoid Fracture Healed!!!
This is one of my email patients who I gave advice at the beginning of 2017. I am happy to have helped.
Hi Dr BLAKE,
After 8 months of Exogen Bone Stimulator and other conservative treatments as per your blog, my fracture is finally healed.
Today, I went for an x-ray and the bone comes up all white on x-ray with no cracks. The Dr said, the fracture is completely healed.
My pain is 5+ years old. I'm lucky to find your blog and follow your advise. You saved me surgery and other potential consequences.
If such a old non-union fracture can heal with 8 months of treatment, then I think there is hope for all the folks who follow your advise.
Many thanks,
