nail through foot

Same thing happened with me when I was a kid, went about 3 inches into my foot. I remember having a tetanus shot but can't remember anything else

Me too, was building a bonfire and stood on a plank with a nail through it, went through my foot and out of my laces. Went to hospital and they wiped it and sent me home. In school the next day. Bunch of pussies.
 
When I was fourteen I stoood on a needle sticking out of the carpet. Hurt like hell. I sat to inspect the injury but all I could see was the eye of the needle on the sole of my foot. Okay I thought, either that's just the eye, or the whole needle is in my foot. I gave it a yank and it was just the eye.

Next morning I couldn't get my shoe on, my foot had swelled to twice it's size. I got the bus to the hospital where an x ray revealed an inch long piece of needle which had travelled half way up inside my foot towards my ankle. They operated right then and I got the bus home later on in time for tea :)

Few years later I was strolling into town, walked past a shop which was being done up and trod on a plank of wood with a nail sticking out of it. It went through my boot and staight up into my foot. Oh crap, not again I thought.

I stood for two or three minutes not sure what to do, basically nailed to the pavement :)

I decided the wise thing to do was to just jerk my leg up really quickly. So I took a deep breath and did so. A long spurt of blood shot out of my boot onto the pavement, after which I hobbled to the hospital, more x rays, for metal bits and rust apparently. Got a tetanus shot in the ass then hobbled back home, in time for tea :)
 
Guess I've been the luckiest so far then :D. Stood on a plank of wood with nail in when I was about 7 but the nail went inbetween my big toe and the one next to it :D.
 
It hurts for a while. I had a nail go thruogh my foot at a warehouse party. It was in the designated "toilet" room so covered in pee. It was also attached to a block of wood.

My missus wasn't quite thinking right as she was heavily intoxicated. She decided to help my get it out by standing directly on my foot and stamping on it repeatedly (I'm not joking!). It was an odd experience that resulted in some nice jabs and a hole through my foot that hurt for quite some time.
 
3 pin plugs are agonising. Mum used to keep the vacume cleaner on the landing and no matter how hard you tried to avoid it, you always stood on the plug going to the toilet at night. The only reason it didn't pierce my foot all those times is probably because I was expecting it and treading very carefully :p
 
^Reminds me of my father who used to be a butcher, sometimes came home with cuts down to the bone on his hands where the band saw had got to him :eek:

When i was younger my dad stepped on a nail when taking me to Judo, went right through his foot. Was rather nasty seeing it poke out the other side

He had to go have a tetanus jab too, so recommend you go if you already havent
 
No. 2 son had a similar experience on the last day of term with a sewing needle. The blunt end went in first, which left him with just the tip of the sharp end sticking out of the palm, along with the thread. You could see the blunt end pushing the skin up on the back of his hand.

I know it's cruel to laugh, but as it was through a muscle he had to sit still, with a very limp wrist as moving his hand was so painful. As if this was not bad enough, after a while he said "I've been holding my hand down for so long I've got pins and needles".
 
Ouch ive done that 6 inch nail right through the foot came out the top.

seriously hurt - have fun :cool:
 
When I was very young I trod on a nail, it went right through my foot and when I lifted my foot the bit of wood the nail was attached to came up too!

That was 32 years ago and I can still occasionally feel pain in my foot. :eek:
 
Not as bad as when i trod on a plug (yes a 3pin UK Plug) and the main pin went half way through my foot.

an abcyss
2 operations and the rest of the year off P.E later I was fine again :D
 
Ive had one goes straight through when i was wearing slippers and messingabout as a kid - nice little scar :)
 
Ouch, luckily I've never managed it properly. I was nearly skewered by a nail in my dad's yard, but as soon as it went through my boot and touched the sole of my foot, I pulled it back. Had a little mark for a while, but I guess I was lucky.
 
mate stood on a tent peg and it came through the top of his foot


screaming..................lots :(
blood........................lots :(
tetnus jab...............arse :p
 
Nothing is more painful than standing on a UK plug!

As for the footnail, I did the same when I was a kid and the point split a tendon that runs along the bottom of my foot. Every so often I get a little burning sensation just where the nail punctured my soft, lillywhite flesh. :) A couple of weeks and you will be fine.
