The lady at the x-ray told me that the radiologist will contact my doctor by tomorrow.....he did before lunch today and I got a phonecall at 12.30 noon.
He was all the time talking about a "sewing needle" - "not seen in 30 years of practice" and then I finally told him to stop that sewing needle talk and that it was part of an injection needle!
I am a newbie quilter but further than into my finger I never managed to mislead a needle

Thank you all for your good wishes, I really feel miserable.

No kidding!!! I can't believe they didn't take care of at the time it happened!

Oh my!
Can't believe they didn't take care of it 30 years ago!

Talk about sitting on pins and needles! You have been doing that for years!

I hope it will be a simple procedure to get out!

Praying for pain relief!

wow, can't believe the original doc left it in - big malpractice lawsuit waiting to happen (at the time).

Good Luck with the "removal Process"! Make sure you get antibiotics!!!!

Oh my gosh! Sorry you are going through this. It must really hurt.

Hope you get it out soon and feel better!

It seems to me that the doctor who originally left the needle behind should at least cover the cost of the removal.
