has anyone else had a spine from a cactus (specifically the prickly pear) pierce and break off under the skin? I have done this and yesterday my wife got a double incident. The question is what did you do? I went to the hospital to have it removed, it was real deep and in the shin muscle. It cost many $$$ and they never got it out. A friend of mine went to the hospital and they took it right out. My wife is just sucking it up on the assumption that the body metabolism will break it down as a foreign body anyway.
experiences? similar or different.
Side effects? infections, etc.
thanks, just wondering.
