Is there anyone out there whose tibial sesamoid fracture healed and didn't need surgery?

I'm 37 years old active female who has been suffering from tibial sesamoid fracture of the left foot for last 4 months. I've been to 4 doctors so far and 3 think it is a sesamoid fracture. Only one of the doctors thinks that it is sesamoiditis (inflammation of the sesamoid bone and the tissue around it). He thinks that I was born with a bipartite sesamoid bone and that the other doctors misread the x-ray and diagonsed it as a fracture when in fact the bone has been in two parts since birth. Weird! The funny thing is that my other foot's tibial sesamoid is in one piece! (One doctor actually took x-rays of my good foot to prove hi spoint that i) Wow so I have asymmetrical feet or it is indeed a fracture. At this point no one really knows. Anyway I don't care, I just want to be able to walk again without pain. I used to be a runner and fairly active person before this injuury and yes I sort of blame this injury on my active lifestyle. :( I just wanted to know if there is someone else out there who has gone through what I'm going through. I was put in a surgical boot and am currently on crutches for 6 weeks. The doctors have told me that surgically removing the sesamoid bone or sesamoidectomy may be my only option if immobilization doesn't heal the bone. Is surgery my only option? I have heard such bad things about sesamoidectomy and I am really worried about the long term effects of this injury on my life.
