Hello, My mom has stepped on a rusty nail half a year ago, she does not know how deep it went. The wound was washed and treated with some anti-bacteria medicine by my dad. Now about a year later she has pain in the foot and says it feels like the pain in the bone. She also does not remember if that was the foot that she steped on or not, so my question is what could be causing the pain if it is the foot that got punctured or not. And if the nail has nothing to do with this what other things might have caused it, is it common, is it treatable? There was no pain for a half a year, but for the past month it has not left. She is afraid to go see the doctor, so any input on the situation will be appriciated. Thank you.
