Get it removed!: Having a foreign body in your body is never a good idea; who knows what bacteria or other pathogens are on it, and likely causing abscess. See a podiatrist!

See a Podiatrist.: See the podiatrist foot evaluation and treatment. Sometimes a planter wart can cause symptoms similar to having a piece of glass stuck in your foot.
