Glass stuck on side of knee for 3 days .er or urgent care(pretty good in my area). how much will hurt? never had anything done or break anything

Depends : Hi Camilla, it depends on the urgent cares capacity to do such procedures and what the knee looks like. 3 days is a long time to have a foreign body in your knee. There are chances that an infection can occur. I would get it checked out. Regarding pain, they should be able to numb the area. Every doctor has his/he own style of treating the pain.
