What to do if you step on a nail

Ғылым және технология

Puncture wounds are little different than typical abrasions or cuts. Most important is to make sure you clean the wound as best as possible and get a tetanus shot if you haven't in some time.

    Stepped on a nail and It broke the skin and slightly started bleeding. Cleaned it off with 80% alcohol and slapped a heavy duty bandage on it with triple antibiotic ointment. Got my Tetanus shot last week. I’m good.

    How long did you wait to get the shot? After you stepped on the nail? Glad your okay

    You're lucky it was just a nail. At one point I took the garbage out barefoot and stepped on glass. Now I know how Bruce Willis must have felt.

    (ADVICE FROM AN EXPERT): MY PAIN YOUR GAIN! Sadly I step on roughly 10-20 nails a year I build 3+ story beach houses Well I stepped on 2 nails at once yesterday at the front pad of my foot one went almost through behind my toes the other into my middle toe bone and scraped the bone from beneath I have two large lumps and I'm forced to walk on my heel today 8/16/23 , my advice for anyone in this predicament FOR THE FIRST FOUR HOURS AFTER: do not stop movement even if you cannot walk on it continue to move your foot, flex it bend your ankle, lift your shin roll your whole foot in circles , also find a comfortable position to rest your foot and bounce it like a kick drum pedal! You need to expedite delivery of white blood cell to that location if your foot or leg stiffens it will take longer to heal! I PROMISE YOU!

    Ugh, I did this like a month ago. It was rusty and old from my vintage camper remodel. I went to the ER, got antibiotics and a tetanus shot. It didn't hurt until like a week ago, it's not healing, and I stepped on my sandals I left laying out and it hurt so much my knee involuntary folded to prevent me putting anymore of my weight down in the full step. I'm soaking it right now and then I'll be doing home surgery 🤢. If it's really gross I'm pretty squeamish, I'll be back in the ER

    I stepped on a nail at work today, (not rusty) and since it’s a new house the nail is pretty clear. Anyway I stepped on one today and I remember getting shots to attend middle school about 6 years ago, google is telling me that you should get a booster every 10 years what should I do?

    How'd it go? The nurse told me yesterday it's an updated recommendation to get a tetanus booster every 5 years but if you haven't been injured it's fine to get it updated only ever 10 years. So if you never stepped on anything, you should get it every 10 years. If you got hurt but got a shot less than 5 years ago, you're good, but anywhere between 5 and 10 years for an injury requires a new booster. Good thing for my math skills, I don't remember ever getting a vaccine after childhood so seeing as I'm not 10 years old it was easy to remember I hadn't gotten it.

    have faith in the Most High the blessed Creator of Heaven and Earth and to acknowledge his beloved Son, meditate in prayer to heal you best according to his will, you could also within the time period use natural antisceptic like alcohol, someone may tell me to go to a doctor, although im the type to not wanting to be dependent on the medical industry, not so much to find cheaper alternative, although more so for the sake of learning and self confidence builds from that

    Same old info like EVERY other video on the topic. How about what to expect for the healing process - days weeks months. How long? If the bruising subsides or if it doesn’t. During the healing process, should you try to move it after a while or continue to let it rest.....etc etc etc etc. FFS, I think of so many other info points that could be in such a video. I guess doctors aren’t creative people & just follow the same garb that was told to them.
