Today, my wooden floor gave me a splinter on the bottom of my foot. I don't have the flexibility nor the eyesight to find it. FML

Hopefully, it'll pop out on its own. Sorry about that.

Don't you have hands pain receptors? Feel around the spot where it hurts

Why is this downvoted? I'd also say that the easiest way to locate it is just to feel around the sole of your feet.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Just put your hand down there and feel around where it hurts for the splinter.

It's probably downvoted because OP said they don't have the flexibility. If OP did, that's probably what they could've done.

Okay, I'm seriously getting annoyed/confused by the phrase 'doesn't have the flexibility'. FML commenters seem to think OP can't see the bottom of their foot normally, see their foot with a mirror and now even feel their own foot. I am struggling to see how anyone can be so damn rigid. Has OP got that disease where your muscles turn to bone or something?

I was born unable to sit. Now, as an adult, I can, but I'm in the same situation OP is, being extremely inflexible. Some people are just unfortunately like that, it's not mind-boggling.

Soak your foot in hot water. Should help

I feel your pain, it's a struggle for me to clip my toenails.

Just go to the hospital before it gets infected.

I doubt that a splinter would get infected I've had enough to be pretty positive about that.

Sometimes they get infected, not often though.

If you call 911 for a splinter, you're gonna have a bad time.

Ask a friend? And maybe have your floor sanded a bit for future reference

For some reason I'm picturing the OP with baby T-Rex arms that's unable to reach the bottom of her feet.

Get a friend or relative to remove it for you

"Hey, could you come over and help me remove a splinter from my foot?" Haha, it would take a really good friend to do that.

Not really. I'd do that if a friend asked.

Not necessarily. If your friends love food as much as mine do, tell them you just got back from food shopping xD just make sure to buy them food after they remove your splinter
