Glass in Foot?

[lizbud]

Well its not black-tar, its kind of a tarry substance though. I can't remember the name of it though I can remember what the jar looks like

You are probably thinking of Ichthammol. My mom used that a long time ago.

I wouldn't mess with it. Call your Dr for an appointment. Let him look at it.

Ouch! Yes, you may want a doctor to take a look. I had a similar incident a number of years ago. I thought I got it, but after a couple days my foot was so sore I couldn't walk on it. Had to go to ER and they had to open up the cut to get the glass out and I was on crutches for a week.

Och, that can hurt, sometimes proxide can help wash it out???

I don't know if it's because I'm so pale, but I never see the glass whenever I get some in my foot. I just have to poke around a bit and I can hear it crunching in my foot LOL. Once I make myself bleed with the tweezers (not on purpose, but eventually it happens) I can see it better, and I take it right out.

"black-tar".. it was cool to know though.

gosh.. thank god I don't have to hear the crunching! it gives me shivers.

my foot was a bit sore this morning and I read furrykidsmother's..

really, I think I got it (so so slightest small one) out by flushing it with water then cleaned it up with hydrogen peroxide (stiiiing).. I don't wanna go back to white coats!

don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it. thanks!

One more trip to the white coats for you, girl, and we're going to kidnap you and stuff you into the upstairs in our house and keep you away from all:

Sharp objects
cars
blunt objects

Am I missing anything here?
