It happened when i was sleeping & i felt someting sharp pinch my foot but i was to tired & when i actually realized it was glass the wound had healed itself & now i can't even see the glass but i have a sharp pain in my foot! Can glass actually remove itself from your body or is this something i HAVE to see a doctor about! If i can avoid the doctor that would be great!
Answers:
No it s not safe to leave in. A number of things could happen. First of all the glass can become dislodged and pierce a nerve, artery, vein, or muscle. Secondly infection could still easily develop. And thirdly it will probably cause you pain later on in your life. My advice to you is get to a doctor and have him remove it. After make sure that you keep it clean and let it heal. Good luck and I hope this helps.
