Default Spoke through leg=pain


Earlier while i was out riding i jumped off a ledge that's about 6ft
tall. And i think due to the cold weather and my wheel needing some
spokes to be tightened a spoke snapped.
Not only did it snap but i landed on some loose gravel that i did not
see and slipped. The way i fell stabbed the spoke directly into my leg,
out of instinct i instantly screamed and pulled it out of my leg(it
didnt go all the way through but was pretty dang deep). My leg still
hurts it hasnt swelled up at all, it doesnt look very bad but there was
alot of blood earlier.
Do you guys think i should go to a doctor and get it checked out? Im
sure that having a foreign object impale your leg poses some threat of
infection..
I dont think it needs stitches, but i never think i need stitches even
if i probably should..
Right now im debating super gluing it up and forgetting about it..or
just going to to doctor..hmm
