I twisted my foot while running with my dog two weeks ago. When I was at the hospital and took some x-ray shots of my foot to see how the condition of my foot was, they found this in my foot:
As you can see, there is actually a needle in my foot and it has most probably been there for many years:
PS, it looks like your personal number is in those numbers!
Oh, I didn’t noticed. Very careless of me. Thanks for letting me know.
I have the same exact thing in my foot! they were looking for rhuemitory arthritis. its weird though like with what seems to be yours the needle is broken! it is lodged between two foot bones. ill see if I can find the pic of the xray I took with my cell phone.
Hi Sara! Interesting to hear your story. Do you have any idea how it happened? Would be fun to see your x-rays as well
A similar thing happened to me when i had my foot x-rayed after fracturing a bone they found a needle in there too, no idea how it happened and most probably been there years. Did you have to have it removed?
Hi Carrie
My doctor didn’t want to remove it if it didn’t bother me and I didn’t knew it was there before I took the x-ray. My doctor said they most probably will have to cut a lot to find it and that might would do more damage than leaving it there so we decided to leave it there.
