A member asked:
I cut my thumb deep enough to indent it. i suspect i have severed a nerve. at 16 will i and how long will it take to regain feeling and fill out?

Nerve injury: is usually permanent. Surgical repair is not possible in a small nerve such as digital nerve. Deformity would probably improve, but it too can be permanent, depending on severity of it.
