What Could The Bone Protruding Beneath The Foot Which Hurts To Walk Be?
On the underside of my foot, beneath the second toe from the big toe and third, the bone seems to be kind of protruding. This has caused me problems for months. I have osteoarthritis (discovered to be in my back). My doctor identified me as having calluses. I treated those but it still hurts to walk. What else could this be? Bone spurs?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Many cases of sesamoiditis can heal completely with careful treatment. There are two methods for treating sesamoid problems, nonsurgical treatment and surgery. treating the inflammation and pain of sesamoiditis with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin and ibuprofen. Special padding in the shape of a J can be placed inside your shoe to ease pressure on the sesamoids as you stand and walk. You may need to limit the amount of weight placed on your foot when you're up and about. Shoes with low heels may also ease the pressure.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
