A member asked:

I stepped on glass.got stitches.i pulled them out myself when foot healed but every blue moon it hurts when i walk.any tips?

A few things: Probably scar tissue. Sometimes when you stretch the scar tissue you can have some discomfort. Can be a residual small piece of glass in the foot but unlikely.
