Should I seek Medical advice for a numb finger?

Question

My finger has been numb for 2 days. I was carrying home a heavy shopping bag while on crutches and must have cut off the circulation in my finger but I'm worried as its been 2 days and and the feeling in my finger has not come back.

Answer 1

My thumb has been numb for mos. It's a pinched nerve and you should prolly have it checked out.

Answer 2

I've done the same thing.  I agree, a pinched nerve.  I know rubbing it just inflamed the area and put more pressure on the nerve.  Ice the area to reduce inflammation and take Ibuprofen to reduce inflammation, then go see the doctor!

Answer 3

i dropped a ping pong table on my hand two years ago and still have a numb little finger. nerve damage. in your case though it doesnt sound permanent so a doc might help fix it faster
