I have a poison thorn stuck in my foot and now it is swollen and I cant touch it. It hurts to put is down and nothing can make physical contact with it. It hurts to walk, and I want it out, but I cant touch it. How do i get it out!?! It is deep in my skin and I cant even see it anymore, but my foot it swollen all the way around and it hurts like h*e*l*l*. How do i get it out and how do i make it stop hurting.
I tried putting ice on it so i wouldnt feel it, but In couldnt get the ice to touch my foot, it hurt so much.

A and D Ointment and a bandage...its good for drawing things out...or Draw out Salve. But sounds like you might need to let a doctor get it out.

If you aren't able to touch it to get it out, you have no choice but to go to the Dr. If you can't get an appointment today, go to the emergency room. Take some naproxin or alieve in the mean time it has pain reliever and an anti-inflammatory that should help with the swelling and pain.

Hate to tell you this but it's going to hurt to get it out. Somebody's got to pierce the skin with a sterile needle or knife and either fish around or squeeze. Similar to a lot of things, you got to go through the pain to get the pain to stop. A Dr. could inject a deadener.

if it is a poison thorn, try putting mud on it, kinda like you would for a bee sting. look at your foot thru a magnifyinh glass to see if you can see it and then pull it out with a tweezers.

Go to the doctor. He will numb it and then get it out for you. Or you can wait til it pusses up and tries to come out on its own, but I don't think you really don't want to do that.
