A member asked:
Dirty nail puncture wound seemed to heal well with antibiotics. now, 4months later, it is painful to walk, especially when i am flexing my foot. why?

You need to see: A foot doc to have xrays and I would not wait. Hopefully, your issue is unrelated to the initial injury and coincidental. Otherwise you have to make sure nothing is "brewing" from that initial injury.
