Q: Foreign Body in my foot - metal pieces

Hi don't know if anyone can help but 6 weeks ago I trod on an industrial wire brush... Problem was pieces of metal are too small to show up on xray, ultrasound and ct, yet every now and then a little bit is working its way to the surface and I am able to remove it. My foot is sore and feels like I am walking on a hedgehog all the time... Does anyone know whether they will all work their way out in time being metal, or if I am doing any harm walking on my foot...... Any advice, please help!
Thanks clare
