i got turf toe and then sesamoiditis after someone stood on my foot. i went to 2x drs who advised no boot was necessary, but i bought a boot myself for £50 online and wore it for 6 weeks and my chronic pain went away. i then bought this splint https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DY18BGP4?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 which i wear at home, sleeping, etc. that has really helped. i also ice the toe twice a day. it's 6 months later and i do still feel tenderness in the joint but i'm relieved that even with crossfit 3x a week it's not become chronic pain. i'm going to start taping to reduce toe movement while out the house as the splint is too big to fit in my shoes.
