Hi, I work at a red meat processing plant. for about 8 weeks now I have had an infection above my left thumb nail. I have suffered from considerable pain, as you do from an infection. I thought there was a bit of dry cuticle and not wanting to pull it off due to the extra pain it would cause. I went on a course of antibiotics from my Doctor, which decreased the infection but didn't cure it. Two days ago I decided to pull the piece of dry cuticle of, but to my surprise, out come a splinter of bone 6mm long which was picked up while packing raw meat. What are all of the possible symptoms from the infection of a bone chip of 8 weeks….and is muscle soreness/tightness in my left shoulder and side of my neck possible side effects of this infection. Thank you for your time. Kind regards, Kellie.
Better off going to your dr. for that kinda help. With any health problems of course.
