I have a piece of glass in my foot. i thought i removed it three or four weeks ago, but today it started hurting and i checked, it's still there.

See doctor: You likely have an infection in the area if the glass has been present for 3-4 weeks. You need to go to the ER or get your doctor to remove it. You will likely need an antibiotic to treat the infection as well.
