  "account": "Dancer Shakti Mohan recently advised that people should not immediately remove their shoes after sustaining a foot injury. Instead, she suggested keeping the footwear intact until a doctor can examine the foot. Removing shoes too hastily after an injury could potentially worsen pain, disturb fractures, or aggravate soft tissue injuries. Dr. Vivek Mahajan, a Chief Orthopaedic at ISIC Multispeciality Hospital, supports this advice, stating that shoes can provide temporary support and limit movement of the injured foot. However, removing them incorrectly might cause additional pain or worsen the injury. It's important to avoid unnecessary movement of the injured foot and seek medical help promptly.",
