Jim Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Any references for one in Seattle? I think I tweaked a tendon around my sesamoid while cranking my fruitcake laden self up a route in the gym. Taking a couple weeks off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yep, did the Google thing and this sounds familiar. You use these folks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam yarder Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Take care of those sesamoids. In my experience, the best thing to do at this point is rest your foot and very gradually resume climbing and other foot-intensive activities only when the swelling or pain has subsided. If your symtpoms persist, don't ignore them as sesamoiditis can become a chronic problem as it has for me. Dr. Richard Bouché is the guy to see in Seattle if you want orthotics. I have reconsidered the use of all soft rock shoes like the moccasym in favor for stiffer shoes like the tc pro. A looser fitting shoe is also a good idea.

Jim Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 If anyone cares or has had a similar injury - the above advice was about it. Just needed a long rest, iced if flared up, some aleve now and then. After 2.5 months, ready to get back at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendershot Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I second Cam Yarder's vote for Dr. Richard Bouché. I went to the NW Foot & Ankle Center and had lots of tests done before being refered to Bouche for a 2nd opinion. My sesimoids were knocked out of place in a motorcycle accident. Bouche did the surgury to remove them. Over the past year, he was very attentive to my concerns as a climber and back country skier. He took the time to explain a lot of things where most doctors would hurry you out so they can get to the next appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 I also went to Bouche and he seemed very competent, reviewed my X-rays, build a padded insert and gave me some advice, and hoped I did not have to return. Hendershot- how are you doing now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
