    It depends on which sesamoid is causing the problem- medial or lateral or even the accessory sesamoid sometimes found under the interphalangeal joint.

      I believe it would be a sesamoid found under the interphalangeal joint – based on where the pain is most prominent on palpation….

    I believe it’s the medial sesamoid (the one closer to the next toe) – although I am not sure of the exact sesamoid – that’s just my guess – the pain/problem is basically where the big toe bends (in the joint area) and is located closer toward the inside of the toe – rather than along the outer edge.
