RobertMcNjr Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 So yesterday I got this splinter, pierced it's way into my index finger, right in the joint where I bend my finger and it's callused over so I'm surprised it even got in. I got part of it out or all of it, not sure. Feels like something is there or I'm just feeling a sore spot where I was digging to get it out. I can't tell if their is anything there, I don't feel a bump. It's sore at the moment and when I was trying to cut bits of skin away to get deeper to see if anything is there I couldn't find anything. Little bit of pus came out when I was searching but, don't know what to do beyond this point. Do I just let it heal? Think I should go see someone professional to examine my finger? lol... Never had a splinter I couldn't get out, maybe it is out and it is just infected now from me getting it out or it is infected because some bastard lil piece is still in there >< It doesn't hurt being idle, but can't bend my finger fully. When I try and bend it a sharp pain occurs but that could either be because a lil piece is still there or it could be that when I bend my finger it puts pressure on the cut causing a sharp pain....ugh this is annoying, it's almost like having a foreign body trapped in your eye and you can't get it or you scratched your eye so it feels like something is there but isn't.

Kenneth Denmark Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 perhaps a buhuu biscuits and a napkin to wipe the eyes will help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regopit Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 If it is still sore in 4 or 5 days you probably still have something in there. Get one of those first aid scalpels and start to cut away. The first tell sign will be if pus shots out that something is still in there. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoszko Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I had a cut in the crease of my big toe that hurt like hell when I walked. I had family look at it under a magnifying glass to see if there was anything in there (A little difficult to stare closely at the bottom of your own foot) and no one saw anything. After a week I got a 10x eye loop and had someone look at it again. Sure enough there was a shard of glass that had lodged itself in there good. Instant relief when that was out. If you give it a couple days or so, sometimes it works its way back to the surface of the skin enough for you to grab it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertMcNjr Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Got the splinter out, for awhile there I was sure nothing was even in there and that my finger just needed to heal. Until I saw the bastard poking out of my skin, was able to gently pull it out. Was about 1/2 inch long, very thin piece of wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
