FAQ:
Q: Can foot swelling be harmless?
A: Sometimes, yes. But prolonged, unexplained swelling should never be ignored — it could signal something more serious.
Q: What are some common causes of chronic foot swelling?
A: Poor circulation, lymphedema, injury, infection, or hidden foreign objects can all be culprits.
Q: Why did it take her so long to see a doctor?
A: Many people normalize pain or think it's not "serious enough." Life gets busy — until it forces you to stop.
Q: What was the final diagnosis in her case?
A: (This varies in real-life stories — in some, it was a piece of glass lodged in her foot for years. In others, a parasitic infection. Either way, the result was treatable — once properly diagnosed.)
