Question 2

Accepted Answer

Yes: your finger is very sensitive, it's how you feel. The injury causes pain and swelling. It will take time for this to go away. Make sure you keep it clean with lots of warm soapy water rinses, like in the shower.
If there is increased redness, pain or white snotty discharge return to the doctor immediately.

Question 10

why do fingertips get numb when getting chemo?

Accepted Answer

Possible nerve rxtn: Many chemotherapy agents affect peripheral nerves, and if you have a subclinical carpal tunnel problem, or a nerve compression at elbow, any increased toxicity or inflammation can create outward symptoms.  If this is transient and only lasts a few days, no need to pursue, but if more persistent, get an EMG test and get appropriate treatment.
