unfortunately without the ability to examine your foot i would have no idea if you will be able to play in your tournament a few days from now. medical providers do not like making blind decisions like this so you will need to be examined. a tetanus vaccine prevents tetanus but does not prevent infection. deeper wounds like you have described could become infected if not cared for properly. nope you will not be able to play if you just leave the pain. you must see your doctor and tell him/her what you have. the doctor should give you something for your foot.
i've stabbed myself in the foot with a belt prong more details included please help! . hi i just tripped stepping on a blunt belt prong. it went through my foot and i fell pulling the prong out before i knew how deep it had gone. i am up to date on my tetanus shots but i also have a softball tournament in a few days. will i be able to play on it if i ignore the pain? right now i've cleaned it and have it propped up w/ pressure applied.
