i have a bad case of toenail fungus.
i am discouraged and embarassed about going to the doctor.
Do the perscriptions or OTC work? What is the sucess rate?
has there been any studies related to diet? Thanks in advance for your time
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.

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….
