PLEASE HELP! GLASS IN FOOT VERY SMALL!?

Question

So last night i stepped on aa glass on accident and in part of my foot some glass got in there and i got a little bit of it out but now i know there is some still in there it is so tiny i can't see it though, I have heard amputation storys and stuff is this all true? What should i do about the glass in my foot? it is closed up now and the glass is under there somewhere will this make the pain worse if i try to get it out and should go to the er?

Answer 1

This happened to me-exactly the same way.

I waited till the next day and realized I still had glass in my foot and the skin had closed up. I got my mother's eye brow plucker and a nail clipper and slowly clipped the skin of my foot open and took the piece of glass out with the eye brow plucker. You should do the same, you still have time before the skin gets thick and traps the glass in. If you feel too much pain and feel that you can't do it, go to a hospital--you don't need to amputate anything. They can probably take it out much easier than you can and without pain (but I just didn't feel like going to a hospital).

At any rate, its nothing to worry about.

Good luck
