More than a decade ago, I accidentally stepped on pieces of broken glass and cut my foot. One cut was a bit deep, but not very serious. Went to A&E and they took out the glass and took an X Ray to confirm no more glass shards left. Then bandaged me up and sent me home. Took me about a month before I could walk properly again. The wound healed into a callous on the sole of my foot.
Recently the spot around the callous started feeling a bit sore. Sometimes when I step on the spot, there is pain around it. I'm not sure what could be the problem. I just moved house and this house is an old Victorian house with hard floors downstairs. My extremities get cold easily and I can only surmise maybe it is the cold that aggravated my old injury. I have since then, made sure I always had socks and fleecy slippers on around the house so my feet are kept warm, which seems to help the soreness a bit.
Problem is it has been going on for just over a week and I can feel a slight swelling sort of pressure on that area of the foot but visually speaking, can't really see much redness or blueness or unusual swelling. I can feel it. It hurts a little if I step on the spot sometimes and the pain can sometimes shift places. When I press on the area, it doesn't really hurt all the time. Just sometimes, some spots hurt, but other times they don't.
I'm not sure what is the problem. But it is bothering me as it is affecting my walking. I'm not stumbling but I feel like I have to be quite careful about how I walk or it might trigger off some random pain. Should I visit a podiatrist about this or the GP? I am thinking it can't be there are still glass pieces there as the x ray showed there were none back then and I have gone through 2 pregnancies and even did a lot of pregnancy yoga, walking, aerobics and Zumba during the past 12 years with no problems.
Not sure why this is starting up now.
