To go to a chiropodist with this problem?

[SoupForLunch]

I stood on a tiny piece of glass about four weeks ago. I thought I had got it all out but depending on how I stand or move I get a sharp pain like there's something still in there, in the pad of my foot at the front. I keep thinking it's got better, then it comes back. Maybe the piece is shifting in its place? Arghh!! Would a chiropodist cut a foot open? I'm not really sure what they do but I don't think the GP could help. Advice please! TIA

You want to see a nurse about that

tbh I would give it a go.
I don't think chiropodist can go into the flesh, but could advise what's best next.

My mum was a chiropodist, I don't think things like that were really part of her job description. It sounds like something you should get seen to at Minor Injuries.

Wtf no just go to whatever the less urgent version of a&e is!

No. As a foot health practitioner a chiropodist or even a podiatrist is not allowed to perform surgery on your foot to remove foreign bodies. You need urgent care or walk in centre

ooooooo - I feel your pain. When I was a little girl I stepped on glass whilst paddling in a filthy inner city ford.

My GP at the time happened to be there with her own children - she looked at it and said it was okay.

Over the next 10 days sometimes I could walk on it - sometimes I couldn't was really strange.

Eventually my Mum took me back to another GP - he was really ruthless and picked open the scab - eventually to much screaming by me he pulled out literally a piece of the neck of a glass coke bottle - it was massive!

Minor injuries/GP/nurse now I would have thought? Good luck with that though...

I’m a podiatrist and when I stepped on glass I had to go to minor injuries.
