Unlikely: To be gangrene if you have good blood supply to your fingers. It sounds like a crush injury. If you have pink fingers and they move as normal and without pain and there are no open lesions it all sounds good. Continue to monitor the temperature of your fingers and follow up with your MD for concerns. All the best.
