I broke my sesamoid bone in left foot playing volleyball over 13 years ago, by constantly landing on my left foot (also turns out I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome which I only recently got diagnosed with but certainly was a factor). I never did anything for it bc whoever I saw at the time told me there was not much that could be done, and I was heading in to play college volleyball so I wasn’t about to stop playing.

Now, 13 years later, I’ve had 7 knee surgeries (5 on left and 2 on right) and I very clearly walk incorrectly. I have noticed a LOT of pain in my ball of my foot when I walk correctly. Instead. I roll my foot outwards which further applies pressure to the wrong parts of my leg. I am knock kneed too, so walking incorrectly at all is just going to further worsen my knee issues.

I need to walk correctly, but from online it seems like they’d just have to remove the bone and idk if that would help, considering I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome.

Not sure who to see - an orthopedic foot doctor or podiatrist, but I clearly need to figure something out here so I can walk correctly again. I also have started getting really bad plantar fasciitis and wonder if it’s related (though it is bilateral, not just left foot). I compensate heavily on right foot/leg though so that could be why pain is so bad on my right foot.
