Phalaenopsis spike re-entered stem???

[MasonV]

Hi everyone, this is my first thread on the forum... So I have had this same phal for about 3 years now, it sent out a spike while I was away for a while. When I returned I noticed something strange... The spike came out above the bottom leaf like normal, but then turned around and re-entered in the base of the leaf above and began growing into the stem! It looked like it was going to continue growing deeper into the stem so I cut it. I have tried to pull out the part that is embedded in the stem, but cannot seem to get it out... do you think this will cause issues for the orchid? I can take a few pictures tomorrow after work. Hoping it will be ok...
