Mo doctor (GP) told me that I have 2 extra bones in the ball of my foot, at my big toe. he says it isn’t uncommon. Is there anything I should be doing?

If you are referring to the sesamoid bones under the 1st metatarsal head, everyone has them.

He wasn’t specific in the names, but my foot hurts very badly. I have begun walking on the outside of my foot at all times. It is interfering with my daily activities, and I am a construction worker. Could there be anything else, or is it be something completely different?
