Hello -

I wonder if anyone has advice about this. I was spear fishing in Rhode Island, six weeks ago now, and was helping my partner boat a fish. The weight of the fish drove a dorsil spine through my wet suit and into my leg, just above the knee. Hurt like the #^&#^&#^&#^&ens with tingling and numbness too, for a week or so. The pain and neurological symptoms have resolved completely, but the darn thing is still in my leg. Should I just leave it? Get it removed? Anybody experienced this?

Thanks in advance.
