I thought at first it wasn't anything big. I thought maybe I jammed my foot or somthing so I didn't check at first. I got home at about 5:00 pm central and about 10:30 central I decided to take a look at my foot.

 

 

 

Heres what I found in my shoe 3/4 inch piece of metal. This had peirced my foot as I was running.

 

 

 

First The Enemy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

My sock soaked up the blood for the most part.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The sole of my shoe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The hole in my shoe (hard to see).

 

no wonder there taking forever to load i got to resize first ugh.

GTFO who cares?

 

 

 

Me. Let's see the pics USMC.

there up there now.

Outch. I wonder how it got there..

 

I don't understand pictures 3 and 4.

Two words.... tetanus jag!

Wow. Have you gone to your doctor to get it checked out to make sure it hasn't been infected?

I could have freaking sworn I posted in this topic, before you put the pictures up...did my post get deleted or am I just going crazy? :uhh:

 

 

 

Anyway, what I said before (or at least I'm almost positive I did...) was that you should put some disinfectant on it to make sure nothing develops at the wound. Isopropyl alcohol or peroxide both work, but I recommend the former because it feels nicer.

wow dymed, I read your post about wanting to see the pictures but it just vanished.

Dats virile.

oh my... how'd that happen? Tie your shoes tighter next time?

From the looks of it, the mettle went right through the shoe. Tightening it wouldn't of helped :P

Ouch! I agree - I would get it checked out immediately. You don't mess around with infections.

My mom thinks it looks fine. its healed correctly so far and i'm to date on my tetnious (whatever word it is).

 

 

 

she says they last about 7-10 years. shes also a nurse for the VA so i think i'm fine.

How deep was it in? How didn't you notice for 5 hours?

Trust her, she's the Doc'.

 

 

 

No, seriously; she almost is.

its not very deep. its about 2 mm deep. The reason I didn't notice it is because when i'm running I tend to ignore alot of things including pain. When you run far to you train your body to ignore alot of pain and you just think it is your body getting worn down or somthing.

 

 

 

I've been running for 2+ years now so just used to it.

 

 

 

oh yea plus I listen to trance so I get really lost in my music when i run far so pain is like taken out of it.

Ya, I have a tendency to ignore pain too while I run *since I have knee issues*. I also don't exactly hear things while I'm running too (I have boycotted running on roads now... with biking I have to though :( ).

 

 

 

Make sure to go to a doctor though, even a 2mm wound can get infected reallllly easily *looks at 2 toes :anxious: *

mom says its healing nicely and she thinks it looks good. she thinks maybe go in.

thats really bizzare, you must have hit it perfectly for it to stick up and go through your shoe

Ouch... I wonder how it got stuck in your shoe though, unless it was stuck in a crack or something... But, ouch.

I would have no reason to fake this. Really nothin for me to gain.

 

 

 

What I think happened is we have snow here and thinks will randomly being sticking out of the ground. At work I work at a construction store and ill find nails or screws on the ground alot. But i don't wearr my new shoes to work so its not from there.

 

 

 

I was running inside to, not outside lol.

 

 

 

Also reason I didn't feel it is the foot can take a lot of pain. I've watched people walk on hot coals. It's gotta be that. It looked more painful when i looked at it then just walking with it.

I'm pretty sure u did post too :-k

That's a shame, now you probably have AIDS.

If your mom's a nurse, then I'm sure she knows what she's talking about. I'd still keep an eye on it to make sure nothing drastic happens.. I would hate for you to suddenly get something. o.o
