Get evaluated: Unfortunately such injuries sometimes result in germs from the thorn or within the components of the shoe entering deep into your foot. If these germs take hold you could easily end up with a raging deep infection that requires IV antibiotics or surgical drainage to cure. I would seek out an evaluation now. Early treatment may stop it from progressing to a serious problem.
