In December, Candice she clarified that she would not undergo an amputation and was ‘overwhelmed’ by all the support she had received from her fans.
“I’m not going to cut my foot, I’m currently taking it out for wine with friends,” he wrote on Instagram.
Alongside several X-ray images, he wrote a long caption explaining what he’s been dealing with in private.
The 40-year-old woman has been diagnosed with sesamoiditis, which has left her on crutches and in constant pain.
“I’ve decided to share what’s been going on with my physical (and mental) health, and why I’ve been MIA,” she began.
‘Almost four weeks ago, something in the ball of my left foot broke while I was walking barefoot on the floorboards. He’d been a little sore in the lead up…but nothing too bad. Suddenly, I couldn’t put any weight on it at all,’ he said.
“Since then, I have seen doctors, surgeons, CT scans (1st photo), MRIs (2nd photo), cortisone shots (3rd photo) and the list goes on. It turns out that I have sesamoiditis, which is not curable, but it can be controlled.
‘But on top of that, I have a third sesamoid bone (purple arrow points to it), which is abnormal (you should only have the two bones on top).
I’m so out of control and struggling to see a future through the fog, it’s not even funny. I have considered amputation,’ he said in December.
‘It’s likely that I was born this way… but no one can explain why it might be causing me trouble now. There is a chance that you will need surgery to remove it.
She went on to explain that the disease had affected her mentally to the point where she considered amputating her foot.
I have lived on crutches for the past four weeks. I drag myself in and out of the shower. I can’t do my normal job as a journalist, so I have to present the news at the desk or produce behind the scenes,” he said.
Candice later clarified that she would not be undergoing an amputation and was “overwhelmed” by all the support she had received from her fans.
‘My social life has skyrocketed. I am exhausted by my mobility problems. I trust my amazing circle of friends more than I ever thought I would, and as a fiercely independent person, this brings tears to my eyes.
‘My morning routine of attending @_fitnessxo_ is gone. I’m so out of control and struggling to see a future through the fog, it’s not even funny. I have considered amputation.
Candice concluded, “I’m terrified of the unknown and what I will and won’t be able to physically do once a solution is found.” I miss my old life. And suddenly the problems I thought I had before this don’t seem like problems at all.
‘Please, never, ever, underestimate the privilege of being healthy and capable. If you can plant two feet on the ground and stand up,’ he said

Sesamoiditis is an inflammation of the sesamoid bones and tendons in the ball of the foot.
It is commonly found in dancers and athletes who put excessive pressure on their feet.
It is usually treated with rest and anti-inflammatory medication and may resolve on its own, but chronic cases require surgery to remove the sesamoid bone.
