Suggest Treatment For Shooting Severe Pain In Hand After Rigorous Physical Activity
Two weeks ago I uses scissors to cut through some heavy plastic paneling. It was numb for two weeks and boy it has a painful shooting fiery pain almost feels like a throbbing ache? What is going on, are the nerves healing? Is the injury getting worse? Should I go to a doctor? Thank you

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the injury due to the use of scissors. I suggest using a painkiller to relieve the pain such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day. I also suggest gentle stretching exercises of the hand.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
