Robert Whitfield MD explains how a retained capsule in your body continuously rubs and irritates surrounding tissue, like a shoe rubbing your heel. It might feel tolerable at rest, but during strenuous activity it worsens and festers, requiring removal.
Please, anyone listening right now? Think about going for a hike up a mountain, walk around New York City with a shoe that's two sizes too small. What's going to happen? It's going to rub the back of your heel until it's raw and you get a cuts, right? Like, that's what happens when you have a capsule left in the body. It's rubbing, it's wearing you down, it's pissing your body off. And sure, if you have everything else in life perfect and you're not walking too much, you. You can get away with it. Like, if I have to put on my girlfriend's shoes, her little slippers, little cow slippers, and walk out to get the mail, who cares? Like, it's not that big a deal. It doesn't fit. But, like, I can make it happen, right? And that's where a lot of people are living is their body's strong enough in the moment to deal with it. But then as soon as you say, okay, well, I'm gonna go and I'm gonna wear these to, to go shopping for a day for. For the Christmas holiday or whatever with the family. That ain't going to work. And if you leave the capsule in, you're just leaving this, this festering problem.
