Hand nerve injury

[festive]

Hmm I did something similar years ago cutting some cloth with a scalpel and went through the side of my finger. Saw little white tubes and things in my finger and taped it up. Went to docs about 2 weeks later as the side of of my finger was numb took about 6months or more till I could feel things again.

No he just said it would heal over time and it did

Ah mine was cut down on the palm. So they sowed the nerve back together so will hopefully regrow.

I once ran an electric saw down my right index finger, dead centre, in line with the finger, so it sort of forked. 'Someone' was supposed to be holding the timber I was cutting and let it slip. Stitches, antibiotics and a chipped bone. There was no feeling in the tip for years, but it fixed itself eventually, sort of - it still not 100% feeling at the tip.

Where you off work for a while?

Sounds a bad one.

Can I ask how far down then finger you cut the nerve/ how much was numb? Hoping mine comes back. Thanks
