This 8mm piece of shell was removed from a patients foot following ongoing pain on returning from holiday.
A reminder to never ignore persistent foot pain! 👣🪸 . After a careful examination, we discovered a 6mm piece of shell lodged deep in the foot, something that’s incredibly easy to miss, especially when it’s tiny and hidden beneath the skin.
Foreign bodies like shells, glass or splinters can cause ongoing pain, inflammation and even infection if left untreated. If you’ve stepped on something and the pain isn’t improving, it’s always best to get it checked. 🐚
We removed the shell safely, and the patient walked out feeling immediate relief. :
If your foot pain isn’t going away, don’t wait, book an appointment and let us help you get back to comfortable, pain-free walking. 👣✨
