Hi,I am Dr. Carol Rogala (Emergency Medicine). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I got my right hand slammed in door yesterday, and it bled a little bit on my pinky, and there's a cut. It hurt HORRIBLY bad, and ever since then, my ring finger and pinky have been numb. The palm of my hand is sensitive also, like it's asleep. What's wrong?
Hi, The injury will have caused some swelling of the tissues of your hand. This will cause pressure on the nerves which is the cause of the numbness. It will improve over the next few days. Regards, Dr K A Pottinger
