Suggest Remedy For Pain And Numbness In Finger After Injury
A few days ago, My hand got caught in a balor and smashed my index finger, middle, and ring finger. My index finger got the least damage since only half of the tip on the bottom part is numb. My middle finger has the most damge. The middle and tip is numb as well as my ring finger. I can move and bend all 3 but but i can probably bend my middle finger half way where as I can bend my other fingers all the way. The tips are tingly when I touch them but are numb. The good thing is that i have no pain. Just numb
