Laceration On My Index Finger Posted: 07-06-07 01:54am
I did not know where else to put this. At
2 p.m today i saw something strange on the
edge my glass coffee table. i grabbed the
edge and the glass snapped off. i cut my
finger diagonally from left to right just
above the the first fold. the thing is,
the cut wasn't even deep. it was a pretty
small cut, half an inch long. the thing
that is worrying me is that the area were
i was cut felt numb instantly after
cutting my finger. I could still move it,
though. it is now midnight, and the
numbness still hasn't gone away. should i
wait for the wound to heal or should i go
to the doctor because of this? You think i
damaged a nerve or something? by the way,
there is no pain only numbness when i
touch something.

Hi Mikey
Firstly - my apologies for not replying
sooner ..
whe you cut your finger, or anywhere on
the body, as your body's skin is
completely covered in 'nerve endings'
you're bound to feel a little numbness,
it's the body's way of re-generating skin
cells, as you''ve cut these little nerve
endings, it's already stared a healing
process .... It's nothing to worry about.
As long as you've made sure there is no
glass in the wound, and you've cleaned the
area, let your body do the rest ... keep
the wound clean as much as you an tho.
