i had a rock thrown at my head a few red nose days back and i think i had a chip left on the surface of my skull and just left it there. id play with the rock every now and gain but about a year ago i remembered it and started playing with it but to my ammusement it doesnt move now but i think has formed onto my skull. its under my eyebrow so you cant see it but it feels really cool. i think it was a rock in there, if not, it was a piece of my skull but its now a piece of me

i was once sat in the bath and noticed a load of little black dots on my legs so i had a little pick and it turned out they where the spikes off hawthorn bushes about 3/4" long! there was about 10-15 of them, a few weeks before i had a run in with a hawthorn bush whilst on my trail bike and didnt notice a thing at the time! bodies are strange!

I had exactly the same but in the top of my head, hurt like hell for weeks and weeks and wouldn't heal properly eventually as I scratched the top of my head a thorn came out just shy of an inch long.

Had a thorn in my leg for around 2 months but didn't realise, there was a little bump on my calf throughout this time. I had no idea it was there. I thought it was a weird spot, so eventualy a squeezed and played with it and out popped a thorn about 1/2 long.

I am pleased I'm not alone with this... when I posted this it's the first I'd ever heard of it, what a freak I thought !!!

Anyway, turns out my dads back gave birth to a pencil lead when he was 42, he'd been stabbed with a pencil when he was at primary school.

I work with wood practically every day and every once in a while, as predicted I get splinters and just forget about them.... then a few days/weeks/months pass and there it is again, pops out to say hello Just grab it and bobs your uncle!

Tis strange though!

its like your body tries to envelop the glass

It's not 'like' that, that's exactly what happens. Calcification or something or other.

I found stitches left after an operation, not disolving ones but some that should have been removed. They were through my fingernail and preventing the wound closing properly at the edges so I pulled them out and it healed and the dead nail came off. This was weeks after the stitches had actually been removed though and I knew for sure they weren't still meant to be there, the nurse just missed them because they were buried in the superglue. Don't go pulling at sub-Q disolving stitches after only 10 weeks, they can take months to disolve. If they are in a tissue that doesn't get much blood flow they will hang around a while. They are meant to be there for a good while to make sure your deep tissues are properly healed.

I will leave well alone then. Ta

i got pulled over by my dog when i was 12, was holding her lead and she ran off dragging me down the path. I ripped all of the skin off the palm of my hand, cleaned it up and it healed.

11 years later i still have a piece of gravel embadded in the palm of my left hand. It doesnt hurt and i can feel it in there (and even see it slightly). I think it has absorbed itself into the top of the mussle.
I have no plans to remove it until it starts to cause me problems.
