Tried. Couldn't find it. It may be a figment of imagination, as the pain started after putting soom tiles up in the bathroom.

If you know you have a piece of broken tile in your foot, then you should also be aware that it can move. If you are unlucky it will move somewhere an do harm. I still have tiny splinters of glass emerging occasionally from my hands after a minor fracas with a bottle wielding maniac in the 1970s and bits of grit, encapsulated in skin, emerge from my elbows and knees from time to time, I'm a lifelong biker.

If it's a large fragment, have it removed.

Sudden pains in the feet, particularly after periods of training, can also be due to gout. You don't have to be a port swilling old tosspot to have that, lots of athletes get it.

Whilst that may well be likely, it's always wise to seek a second opinion when using the internet to gain medical advice.

It sounds like inoperable brain cancer to me.

...I feel your pain, I have to re-do mine this weekend after ripping the shower out last weekend to fix a burst pipe.

You bloody sure, every Med Centre I have been in that is the standard response.

S'nuffink. I still have glass blast fragments which entered the right/rear quadrant of my head in 1999, leaving my beautiful body in 2012. The earliest fragments to migrate and exit were from above my left eye after a couple of years. The most recent, last year, came out above my left knee.

Splash some old spice on it and stop whinging, you homo.

Where did your brains come out?

Sorry, couldn't resist that! It isn't pleasant though is it, when you scratch an itch and it starts bleeding....
