Feeling splinter inside the foot

2017-09-28 07:38:46
Hi Doctor, Around 6 months back a small splinter went inside of my foot. I don't know whether it was came out or not but next few weeks and 1-e months I didn't feel any pain. But from last month I have a feel that the splinter is still inside my foot and I am getting some irritation sometimes while walking or sitting idle. Could you please tell me what can be the reason?
