How do I get this thing out of my foot?!
Question: How do I get this thing out of my foot!?
Almost two weeks ago I think I stepped on something(like a piece of tile or something) and it made my foot hurt!. There was some blood but it felt like something was in there and I had someone else look at it; she couldn't find anything in the wound!. For several days I had a bandaid on it!.
Recently it has bothered me, I'd have sharp pains like a splinter is in there or something's in there!. The wound's healed up and the skin is too tough for a needle to dig through casually!. Suggestions!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
I suggest you go see a doctor because the body is so designed that when it is cut, it heals basically back to normal!. Your not supposed to feel sticking unless there is something there - for the most part!.
If I were you I would take a clean needle and dig around till I found something, but that's not generally a good idea :)
Go to your doc, when you get a chance, and he may take an x-ray to see if he can find anything!. Then he will numb the area and go looking for the offending object!.

I'm not trying to scare you, I'm trying to help you : ) so I would suggest going to a doctor, having them x-ray your foot, and then having them remove the tile, or whatever they feel is the best treatment!.
Small pieces of glass or other materials have been known to travel from the foot through the blood stream and cause serious, if not deadly consequences!. Infection is one I can think of!.

soak your foot in warm water and Epsom salts ( you can get at your local drug store ) for about a half hour!. Put some Icthamol ointment on it an cover with a soft bandage with lots of cushion!. Do this every day until it works it way out!. During the day while your walking/standing on it make sure you keep a bandage on it to help relieve pressure!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Soak it in epsom salt!. That stuff draws out everything!. Do it a few times a day, for a few days, and see if it helps!. You can get it at the pharmacy, or even walmart near the pharmacy section!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
