Happened to me when I was a kid playing in a construction site (Not the best place for kids to play. I realize that now).
The strange thing is, I don’t remember it being all that painful. I was more shocked by the fact that a nail went through my foot than I was worried about the pain.
Same here. Stepped on a board that one of my sisters left in the driveway when I was 9 or so. Didn’t even notice there was a nail in my food until she asked where I was standing.
The key in my foot, now that hurt!
I’m glad the pain is going away, if it comes back hie thee to a doctor pronto, I once contracted a nasty case of cellulitis from a scratch on my foot that took lots of time and antibiotics to control… No fun and pretty scary.
Now another story: when I was about 6-7 years old I stepped on a glass hummingbird, something like this. The beak went about .5-.75 inches into my foot right in the center of my arch and then shattered. Fun for all involved!
OOoooh, L.G., that makes my foot hurt just thinking about it.
When I was in my 20s, I worked at a residential facility for people with developmental disabilities and it was a beautiful campus with lots of trees and grassy areas between the many buildings. One day I was walking barefoot down a hill, took a step and “pop” something metal went right in. I literally felt the skin pop. Ewww. And then saw lots of blood.
I was close to the residential building in which I had my office and thankfully there were nurses on staff 24/7. I was in the ladies room with the door open, trying to wash my foot, which was bleeding profusely. Someone ran to get one of the nurses and of course the dippiest nurse of all was on duty. She ran in all in a panic as though she’d never seen an injury before and started nervously clucking around me, looking at my foot, looking around… she then runs out and runs back in a few minutes later with a large bottle in hand, proudly proclaiming, “I’ve got Betadine Douche! I’ve got Betadine Douche!” as she starts pouring it over my foot… Now, I realize it was a hole in my foot and all, but really…
