A member asked:
I smashed my pinky and cut it pretty deep about a week ago, and my pinky has been numb and tingly ever since. did i damage a nerve? will it go away?

Inevitably there is : Damage to a nerve though you should not live with the constant tingling for long. It should not be a permant issue. Watch it for redness, swelling and increased pain, consider tetanus, etc if u got no attention gor it. Clean with soap and water 2-3 times per day.
