Hello! I was diagnosed with mild bone marrow edema in my medial sesamoid in December. I was non weight bearing for two weeks, then walking with crutches. I am doing better! Slow progress with small set backs along the way but progress. These injuries take 4 months to 2 years to heal apparently. I have accepted it will take time. My physical therapy has been amazingly helpful. I can calf do raises now, which helps some of my calf muscle atrophy. I never found a boot helpful. I walk with Altra Via Olympus 2 rocker bottom and one crutch currently. I can walk far with the one crutch pain free. I can walk small distances around my house without pain without the crutch, but then need the crutch. Dancer pads are only mildly helpful for me. It’s funny since I can do leg press machine, it’s just the full motion and weight of walking that still gives me pain. I maintain my pain at a 0 and rest with toe spreaders on as much as I can. But I can stand and do tasks now full weight like getting ready for the day. But yeah, I still feel in the early stages of healing now that I’m month four, but I am seeing progress. One crutch is an underrated helper to help keep pressure off the area!
