I have a sore foot and just found out it's Sesamoiditis. Any tips on easing the pain? I use a shoe pad cushion already. Any info on what sole is best to use?

Symptoms of Sesamoiditis?
The most common symptom of sesamoiditis is pain in the ball-of-the-foot and swelling. The pain often occurs on the medial or inner side.
The pain may be constant, or it may occur with, or be aggravated by, movement of the big toe joint. The pain is often accompanied by swelling throughout the bottom of the forefoot.
What Causes Sesamoiditis?
Sesamoiditis is usually caused by repetitive, excessive pressure on the forefoot. Other causes include increased activity, stress fractures, having a high arched foot, and having a bony foot. If you have a bony foot, you may not have enough fat on your foot to protect your sesamoid bones and tendons.
