I didn't have much swelling around the big toe but your big toe is very important for pushing off so may still be inflamed. So obviously your walking will be affected since you need to push off of it.
Furthermore, altered walking could lead to other feet injuries with parts of your foot getting more weight. It happened to me with the outside of my foot b/c I was trying not to step on the ball of my foot.
All the podiatrists definitely told me to never go barefoot. I either wear my shoes or wear crocks in the shower while sitting on a chair.
Since the sesamoid is a bone surrounded by a ball of tendons and tissues, it is easy to piss the sesamoid off especially since every time you push off of the bone while walking, you transmit 3x your bodyweight into the pea sized bone.
Orthotics take forever to customize and your insurance might not cover it which is ass. I bought this foam off Amazon and made a built-up section of 2-3 layers so I would have an offset for my sesamoid to rest in. The foam is sticky but will compress over time.
Keep on Icing - I know it sucks. I bought these square ice cube molds for big pieces of ice since I iced a couple of times a day.
After not feeling my pain in my sesamoid area, as luck would have it, I started to feel a light throbbing there last night (1/10) just letting me know they are still there... 😮😞 So weird. Not sure if arthritic pain.
Try and keep off the foot, Keep Icing, and listen to that ortho! God speed and I'll be here on this subreddit.
