Hi
At Christmas time I was carrying something in my bare feet and felt a stabbing pain. I presumed I had stood on something and had a small puncture wound, and could not ascertain what that may have been
A few weeks the small puncture wound is still not healing correctly, and I am getting occasional stabbing pains in the ball of my foot, which feel more internal . There appears to be no infection and x rays showed no embedded object. The pain relives when it bleeds. Any ideas?

Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
⢠Point your toes
⢠Raise your heels
⢠Squeeze your toes
⢠Roll a ball. Roll a golf ball or tennis ball under the ball of your foot. Apply light pressure for about two minutes.
⢠Stretch standing up. Stand up and place your toes against a wall; lean forward a little until you feel your arch stretch. Repeat using the other foot.
