Hi.....I have a very big problem and im looking for help. About 5 years ago, I stepped into my closet looking for for something. Im not really sure what it was doing there but I stepped barefooted onto a compound bow. The area affected was from my little toe going towarded center of my foot direction. I went to the hospital, the blade was clean and shots were up to date. They decided to glue the cut shut instead of stitches because of scars that could complicate padding of my foot.it formed a knot about the size of a dime. It feels like a bundle of nerves severely painful. It affects my walking and actually causes my little toe to pull away from my foot due to the knot. I have to remove the dead skin constantly. Its almost like a hardened cone shape piece of dead skin with a core keeps forming. The round scar is now seeming to grow long that extends down the bone in the middle of my foot. I understand that I have to deal with the scar and dead tissue but is there anything they may have to do to it??? I cant deal with the pain and it causes alot of walking problems.
