Country music singer Riley Green landed in the hospital after he stepped on a nail during a hunting excursion, the New York Post reported. The 36-year-old "Worst Way" singer shared his ordeal in a series of lighthearted social media posts earlier this month.
Green shared photos of himself in a hospital bed on his Instagram for his nearly 2 million followers. He had one bare foot and the other still in its sock and boot as he lay on a gurney.
"At the emergency room ’cause I stepped on a nail," Green posted in his Instagram Story, which has since expired. "Impaled my foot, and when I took my boot off, corn fell all over the floor," he reportedly went on in the video.
"The lady came in here wanting to know where all the corn came from. It’s from my boot. You don’t want me to take this other one off, either. It’s real-world problems," Green shared in jest.
In another video posted as a follow-up, Green asked the doctor when he could hunt again. "Just hit us with it straight, doc," he said.
More hilarity ensued as Green posted another Instagram Story with him up and around again after his injury. "What sore foot?" Green wrote, also acknowledging that it was "16 degrees" outside.
The "There Was This Girl" singer was not just posting about hunting when this happened for country music clout. In a post from Dec. 15, Green posed with a dead buck he shot himself, which is a common theme on his social media page.
"First buck off my new farm in Kansas and he was a good one. It took a bunch of hours sittin in a tree with a bow but he finally slipped up. Damn I love it out here," he captioned the photo of him smiling while holding his prize animal.

While not hunting, the country music star is busy with his other love: making hit music for his adoring fans. According to Billboard, Green recently notched a spot on the Billboard Country Airplay chart for his hit "You Look Like You Love Me."
He is set to headline the Damn Country Music Tour, which begins in March. Joining him for the duration will be Ella Langley, the other half of the hit song.
Others who will join along the way on different dates include artists like Channing Wilson, Drake White, Lauren Watkins, Vincent Mason, Preston Cooper, Wyatt McCubbin, Erik Dylan, and Jake Worthington. The tour will keep the momentum going from his hit most recent hit album, "Don't Mind If I Do."
It features another collaboration with Langley called "Jesus Saves," among others that could climb the charts. It's clear that this rising country music star is going places, and he's not about to let his latest injury slow him down.
Despite sustaining a painful wound that landed him in the hospital, Green has remained in good spirits for his followers and fans. He has demonstrated once again that laughter is indeed the best medicine.
