Stabbed leg with a lead pencil trying to catch it in between my legs. it hurts to walk but i dont see/recall lead going in. if there is lead, am i ok?

No lead in pencils: There is graphite which is carbon. If there is lead, it is minuscule and you can call the manufacturer or poison control in your area. The point may be your skin and hurt and your doc can get it out under local anesthesia.
