“Splinters?”
About 3 weeks ago I sat on the steps to a deck that my dad made where there were wood chips and stuff. I feel very uncomfortable all the time and I tried looking for the splinters but I can’t find them in my butt. I can’t sit down without feeling pain and due to lockdown, I’m not sure what to do. Can you please help? I also have had a splinter stuck in my toe for almost a year and it’s very deep so what could I possibly do for that as well?

Unfortunately, without an examination there is very little that can be done, other than your own close inspection (or that of a trusted friend or family member) and warm soaks. Our clinic is open. Most doctors are still seeing patients.
