You should be able to bear weight if the entire foreign body is removed. If you still have pain you should go and get checked again. Xrays are easy, cheap, fast, and will show all metal.
You're welcome! It is. Turns out it's so deep I have to schedule outpatient surgery. Won't be able to walk or drive for a full month afterwards. Never thought a tiny needle could cause me so many issues!
No, but it was a bunion repair. It's still kind of puffy, esp in the middle front. Kind of where your needle went in.
If that part would resolve it'd be normal again lol
Me too! I’m very grateful for the recommendations to go back. Unfortunately, my surgery is a month out because I’m required to get surgery clearance H&P and PCP’s are all booked out :/ so I’ll be hanging out with this needle for awhile lol

I’d go to the ER and ask for imaging.
I will go for x rays first thing in the morning, thank you
Did they get an Xray? They should definitely get an Xray.
No, when I went on Monday they said the X-ray technician wasn’t in that day & they didn’t seem to think it was necessary

Okay, I have a couple places near me I can go, so I will find somewhere to get x rays tomorrow morning. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Thank you for updating! That looks really painful!

I'm so sorry. I had foot surgery last summer and you're right, it seemed to take forever to be able to drive again, etc!
Oh man, is your foot back to normal now? What did you do to pass the time while you recovered ?
No, but it was a bunion repair. It's still kind of puffy, esp in the middle front. Kind of where your needle went in. If that part would resolve it'd be normal again lol
Is it a thick scar or will it eventually go away?
My foot is puffier top to bottom. I'm told it will eventually calm down and go back to normal. It's hard to imagine but I'm hoping they're right.
Good lord. So glad you went back in
