A member asked:

I stepped on a piece of glass a month ago and couldn't get it out. occasionally i feel my foot aching where it went in. will it work itself out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Go to doctors: This can become a bad problem as it will get infected. You should go to the doctor as you want it removed before other problems develop.
