I cut my thumb pretty severely two weeks ago at work with a utility knife. I ended up getting 6 stitches.
My thumb has been really numb, which everyone said was normal.
However, yesterday the stitches were removed and when she touched the last one it felt like she was hitting nerve.
Now whenever I touch it or it brushes up against something it’s the most awful feeling - like it’s hitting a nerve.
This is the first time I’ve had stitches - is this normal? It’s still pretty numb too. Should I wait or go back to my doctor immediately?
Does anyone know If this will heal itself? Or could this be a permanent disability? Currently I can’t use that thumb at all.
