If it is in the joint, it must be removed surgically. If it is in

oak splinter that accordioned itself into the joint of my right index
finger. The superficial part of it had snapped under the skin so I dug
it out but obviously didn't get it all. 4 Months later that joint
wouldn't even bend without a nice shot of pain. Off to our awful
medical system where I was handled that same afternoon, by an expert,
for free.
