Wow, sounds like youve had a hard time of it!!! If its not infected but still hurts bad then maybe you've damaged a nerve or something!? Keep the area clean & use thermal therapy socks to improve circulation for better healing!. U could also ask for an xray to see if there's still something stuck in there!. If it's been prodded a lot & really traumatised then maybe it just needs lots of rest & TLC!. Hope this helps!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
IT COULD BE VERY SEROUS! you may still have glass in there and it could cut a vain or artry and could cause death (not trying to worry you) but you NEED to go in, you can ask them to knock you out when they do it and give you stong meds for pain killerWww@Answer-Health@Com
