A member asked:
Will nerve damage in my finger from an injury become progressively worse if it's not corrected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on the severity, location, nature of the injury. Some injuries are minor and will heal on their own, some will not. Best to see your doctor for evaluation. Testing of the nerve may provide some helpful information as to the severity of the injury to the nerve As will a physical examination and neurologic examination. Hope this was helpful. Best of luck.
