Stepping on small sharp objects I was walking to my room when suddenly the side of my foot felt like it had a splinter. I looked but didn't see anything.
I've had splinters (or some other sharp object) in my foot before that I couldn't get out. So, when you can't get them out... where do they go? Does your body swallow them or are they pushed out?
Also, any tips for getting small things you can't see out of your foot?
I don't even see an entry point? It didn't bleed.
Thank you.

Well if it's a splinter I've heard that you can use Elmer Glue to get it out. Keep it on there for about 2 hours and it should come out. it's a remedy so try it and tell me how it works. ]
You may have something clear like a glass splinter in there. When I have had one on a finger, I ran the tip of my tongue over the area to determine if i could feel the end of the splinter. I was able to find it that way to pull out by tweezers. A foot is harder to do anything with. You might want to enlist the help of someone. Wash or soak your feet so the skin is soft. Have some good magnifying lens and a bright light available. Sometimes daylight works better than artificial light.
Hard objects don't melt and become part of the body, they will always be there. Depending on how deep and where in the body, the body may develop something to encase the object. If it becomes a real bother and you can't locate it yourself, just go see the Dr and have him find and remove whatever it is. ]
