Have a foreign body in arm need advice..will u help?!


Question: Have a foreign body in arm need advice..will u help.?
a while ago i shoved a staple in my arm and has been hurting me lately. since it's in a very sensitive area and isn't infected there isn't much they can do. they said it would be too risky to go in and get it out bcus it can damage nerves and stuff but if I'm willing to take that risk would they still go in and get it out.?.? or is it in the end up to them to let me stay in that pain.?.? i placed that staple in my arm 18 months ago and wasn't much of a problem most of the time but is causing me pain and at times my arm gets cold and kinda goes weak but bcus i placed it there i feel like they won't take me serious so i do get nervous and don't mention this to my DR. i have not placed anything else in my body and have been doing good but still don't think they'll take me serious. what should i do.? or what would you do.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
as a health care professional... GO to another doctor, tell him or her EVERYthing... Explain exactly how it got there, what it is doing now, (causing the pain and all) and explain that you want it removed.

did you go to the doctor when it first happened or recently.? if it wasn't recently, i'd go again because it might have moved. they probably wouldn't risk operating on it if it would cause nerve damage. so go see your doctor whenever you can. best of luck.Health Question & Answer

Go to another doctor and tell them you fell on it and it was an accident and see how they act then. I know it's lying and I would not usually tell you to but it might be the only way to get popper care.Health Question & Answer
