Well, it's been four years and some change since my sesamoidectomy. I truly can't believe it's been that long since my senior year of high school, but I've come a long way! I am about to graduate from college in May 2017 and I have played four years of collegiate lacrosse.
I figured I would give an update on how things were going now after four years have passed.
I am doing great! No complications, complaints, or problems with my foot! Although I have only 205 out of the 206 bones the human adult has in the body, I have not noticed a difference at all. I can hardly even see my scar at the bottom of my foot anymore. I am still so thankful to have had such a successful surgery, and I hope that this gives those of you reading the blog a sense of hope and comfort that yours will go smoothly as well.
I have loved getting emails from those of you reading my blog and asking more questions! I am happy to answer anything that you may want to know that I did not touch on, so don't hesitate to reach out. My email is erincallahan7@gmail.com for anyone who does not have it and has additional questions.
Hi, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I am curious if you are able to wear heels now, and if so, for how long?
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth. I Am able to wear heels at work all day! So for 8 or so hours. But I definitely make sure they are comfortable first before I actually wear them. I hope your sesamoid is doing well!
DeleteHello Erin,
ReplyDeleteI recently had my tibial sesamoid removed. My incision in on the side of my foot. I know the surgery has a longer recovery process. I am wondering how many weeks did it take for you to start walking again?
hi Cynthia, I began walking about a month after my surgery. It was hard going from no weight to 100% walking. This was almost 6 years ago, so I am sure protocol has changed. Hope all is well!
DeleteThis has been a very good read. Had my sesamoid removed 17 days ago. Feeling the numbness you describe. I am mobile via a walking boot keeping weight on my heel. Feeling a bit frustrated and impatient, but this blog helped. This assured my this is normal, Although I am 55, not high school age (when your surgery occurred) Fun Times!
ReplyDeleteHi Grant, how is everything going? I am curious to hear how your recovery went!
