How Can A Glass Lodged In The Toe Be Removed?

My left big toe seems to have a tiny bit of glass in it. It hurts just like it has. I have had this feeling for over a month yet the toe looks fine. There was a wine glass broken about the same time I started feeling this way. What can I do to remove the glass? Does glass come out eventually by itself? It really pains me yet the toe looks show any infection. ~ MaryAnn
