@the.anatomy.hub2: Why can pain develop beneath the big toe during walking, running, or push-off? This 3D anatomy video explains the role of the **sesamoid bones**, two small bones located beneath the head of the first metatarsal and embedded within the flexor hallucis brevis tendon. During normal walking, the sesamoids help support the big toe and assist with force transfer as body weight moves through the forefoot. Repeated walking, running, jumping, or frequent forefoot loading can increase mechanical stress around this region. Over time, the tissues surrounding the sesamoids may become more sensitive, especially during push-off through the big toe. This video shows how normal forefoot mechanics can progress toward increased sesamoid stress and localized discomfort.
