A member asked:
Is glass being stuck in your foot serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Glass needs removal: Any item foreign to the body that is causing pain, deformity, or infection in your body needs medical evaluation and likely surgical removal. See your podiatrist for evaluation and treatment. By the way, x rays may show the exact position of the glass in your foot.
