This is where they cut the top.
About a few months ago I had stepped on some glass from a pot. The glass stabbed through my entire foot causing me to lose a lot of blood. When I got to the hospital they pulled the glass out from the bottom of my foot and cut the top of my foot open to get the rest out. I had a chunk of skin hanging out on the bottom that they did not stitch since it could cause an infection. Since than it has healed shut, leaving a bump on the bottom of my foot. Now it feels like all the the nerves went to the top of my foot and the slightest touch, for example putting a sock on hurts and tingles my whole foot up to my leg. My 3rd toe I cannot even move/bend it, sticks right up. On the bottom of my foot underneath my third toe is also a sharp pain. I don't know if there is glass still stuck in my foot and why it tingles so much. Please help give information on what I should do. Thank you so much!
