I have broken sesamoid bones in both feet.

If you have damage to these small bones in the ball of the foot, you may have pain there, swelling, or flares of pain (depending on type of shoes worn or activities that stress them).

You can only get evaluated for this with x-rays, and good podiatrist advice. They may complicate PN symptoms and cause confusion. PN people can also have neuromas in the feet, spurs, arthritis, etc. So a good podiatrist is a good idea to bring all information to light. Don't assume everything is PN...it may be a combination of factors causing pain in the feet.
