glass in finger need some help

(1/5) > >>

Russ:
ok so i was flintknapping last night and cut myself. it was bleeding badly so i just washed it quickly and put a bandaid on it. today it hurts whenever i squeeze it and im afraid i have a piece of glass in it. what do i do?

YosemiteBen:
Take the wraps off and squeeze from the bottom up, make it bleed again, good chance there is some left in there. Been there, done that.

you need to get it out somehow. Sonner is better than later.
I would spread open the cut and try to get a visual of it then determine a method to extract it.
you may be able to probe the cut area and see if you can feel the piece of glass and determine where it's at if you don't see anything.
I always try to do that and remove the piece ASAP before it starts to swell or heal.
Good luck with it, I hope it comes out easy and heals well and fast.

Russ:
Any thoughts?

Russ:
I cant see it but i feel something. I dont know if its tje cut or some glass. Im getting worried though.
