Numb Finger
15 Answers
A couple of weeks ago I broke a very fine crystal wine glass and picking up the pieces got a small shard stuck in the palm of my hand half an inch or so below the ring finger. It went in quite deeply and after I removed it my hand bled profusely. It took ages to stop the flow. Since then my finger has been rather numb – and occasionally when I pick something up a very sharp pain shoots through it. What might I have done – and will it mend?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I stabbed my palm through with a knife, trying to remove an avocado stone in a stupid way, a few years ago. Fortunately I recovered most of the feeling in my palm and can move my fingers properly, but the side ofe my ring finger is still numb and tingles. The dr. said I MAY recover it in time..........But I have got used to it, can even type, more or less, I just have to be careful lifting a full mug or cup. So maybe you have damaged a nerve too. I remember I was prescribed high strength VIT B for a while.
The answers to this question have interested me..
Sqad.. I fell down the stairs at Easter, not far but enough to cause a nasty carpet burn on my shin. The burn has now all healed but I am numb on the side of my shin, can't feel a thing. Would this also be nerve damage? and will the feeling return in time?

sqad; I ask because I sometimes get the tiniest of steel splinters -usually from stupidly using coarse steel-wool without using gloves and I know it's possible to have a piece in the skin so small that it can only be just about seen with a magnifying glass and yet it can give excruciating pain when touched.
