I wnet and get my self a new needle, and stick to my shoe, as surprise, some parts of the shoe wont go truth, but another parts it will go truth well enough to prick me, I chek my skin on the bottom of my foot, and is confusing, I saw something but it coud be anything. what is sure is what I felt, and the broken needle laying on the ground,
if the broken needle wast stand up and went troth my sole.

The needle from a syringe went all the way through the bottom of your shoe?  That's virtually impossible.

Did you actually SEE a needle, or a break in the skin?  I'm guessing NO from what you've written?

Sounds a bit irrational.
