Should I Remove Brass-Wire Nail Shot in Thigh?

I do roofing for work. Handle nail guns with nails held together by little brass wire. When you shoot a nail with our nailguns...some brass is always still attached to the nail (about 3 mm) and today I accidentally shot myself on top of my thigh and when I pulled the nail out, no wire came with it. The wound is now healed over (it's been about 10 hours since sending this inquiry) So how dire is it for me to get it professionally removed? Can I just deal with it in there forever? (Pain is 0) Will it poison me over time like lead?

The small piece of brass left in your thigh probably won’t cause any issues. Since the wound is stable and you don't feel any discomfort, you can leave it as it is. Brass is not as toxic as lead, so there's no need to worry about poisoning. Just watch for any redness, swelling, or pain around the area. If you notice anything unusual, it's a good idea to consult an orthopedist.

you should visit an orthopedic specialist for your knee and back pain. For the moment, pain-relieving methods such as gentle exercises might bring some relief including stretching and hot/cold therapy.

Male | 45

For severe back pain over the counter pain medications can provide relief. Consult a orthopedic or physical therapist for exercises and stretches from well known hospitals is advisable. Maintaining good posture and making lifestyle changes, such as weight management, can also be beneficial.

What is carpal tunnel syndrome?

Male | 23

Your median ne­rve is a principal nerve in your hand. Whe­n squeezed, it brings on carpal tunne­l syndrome. That's a condition mostly occurring around the wrist area. Pain, numbne­ss, or tingling in the hand and fingers are symptoms. Exe­rcises and wrist splints can help ease­ it.

I was having back pain since 1 year i visited orthopaedic i also did my MRI my reports were normal i completed the medication given by doctor.When i was on medication then i did not have pain and now the pain again has started once i was done with my medications. could it be nerve problem due to which i am facing pain?

Male | 27

Perhaps your backache is associated with nerve injury. I recommend that you see a neurologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. They will perform further tests and establish what is causing your pain.

Rheumatoid factor arthritis problem

Female | 25

Your immune system protects you, but sometimes it mistakes friend for foe. That's what happens in rheumatoid arthritis—immune cells attack your joints instead of defending them. Mornings can be stiff and painful as joints swell. Medications can ease the pain and slow joint damage, but staying active and eating well are just as important in managing this condition.

Female | 25

Knee pain can be happening due to some injury, overuse, arthritis, or other underlying conditions. It would be best for her to consult with an orthopedic specialist or a primary care physician who can evaluate her symptoms perform a physical examination, and potentially order tests to determine the cause of the pain.
