Post sesamoidectomy and still having problems.

I had a medial sesamoidectomy 2 years ago. post surgery the healing process was great, the skin healed very well and I was walking fine post recovery.

About 10 months post surgery, I noticed I was still having pain when walking (similar to the pain I had prior to surgery). My specialists said having slight pain would be normal however 2 years on I am still in pain. I went back to my consultant, had x-rays and and mri scan which revealed that the sesamoid that is still there has broken into 2 pieces, there is fluid around the joint and another bone in the joint is being 'flattened'.

Has anybody experienced a similar injury to this? What was the outcome? I can't seem to find much information on the web!
