glass still stuck in my toe!!!?

[tiger44]

Last Friday I went to the doctor to get a piece of glass out of my big toe on my left foot. She said she had got it all out but, I still feel a sharp object or something in there. She dug kinda deep and left the cut open so any piece left could get out. My mom said it will just take time to heal. But, two years ago I have the same thing happen except it was in my heel, of course my mom said the same thing. And I complained to her like 20 times and she called the doctor and we went in to see a surgeon to get it out. of course there was another piece in there. This time the doctor numbed my toe, and to this day like a week later it is still a little numb and painful, but i don't know if my mom is right or not. Can someone please help me!????

so in that case my mom is wrong in saying it will take time to heal? how should i take care of it for now? walking on the side of my foot is helping what else?

An MRI will show glass. An x-ray will not. A relative of mine had a piece of glass embedded in his foot for forty-one years (no pain) before it worked it's way out.
