Piece of plastic in my leg

No suedonim...they didnt...just used the 'drawing ' patches to hopefully draw it out...

I suppose it might make its way out eventually. I’d be concerned about the cleanliness aspect, I must admit. Did they try to extract it at any time?

Thank you...all of you...I will try to get a telephone appointment with GP...to be honest..I'm not happy with it being in my leg...I asked at A&E and the district nurse if they couldn't just give me a local anaesthetic and cut it out...both replied " it's not as simple as that".....????

Poor you, I remember your post about your accident. Surely this is a foreign body? I can imagine a medical opinion for leaving something that would risk your life or other organs if it was almost impossible to remove, but you're not in a war zone. This is a piece of plastic and something that shouldn't be there and is not comfortable if you press it, so might give you future problems or infections? I would think that you need to seek the opinion of your GP, to say the least. Others might not be bothered but it's your leg, your future health etc.,

Well the antibiotics will have taken care of any infection if there was any dirt on the piece of plastic As it was a few weeks ago
I know people have lived with bullets still inside them and think of all the screws and nuts and bolts and rods some people have inside but having said that I would make an appointment to speak to the GP and find out what the story is and how safe it is to leave it in situ and what his/her plan is

I agree with Welshwife, the strimmer plastic must have been dirty when it got under your skin, surely? Best contact your GP or A&E for some advice.

If it came off the strimmer surely it was ‘dirty’. Has no one tried to remove it?
I think I would go back to the doctor or go the A and E.
