Sliced my finger, possibly to the bone...two nights ago?

Question

I was cleaning a very sharp knife (luckily I had it mostly cleaned) when I accidentally sliced my index finger near the knuckle on the side closest to the thumb. I believe the slice was deep because I did not feel pain but rather resistance. Is it possible that I damaged a tendon or nerve? Can doctors do anything about this? thoughts? Input?

Answer 1

WTF.. are you thinking. I dislike doctors but stitches for a cut of that nature are a necessity. The longer you wait the longer it's going to take to heal and the more complications you are going to have.

After the emergency visit read and apply http://www.helium.com/tm/148271 to speed up the healing process.

Answer 2

you should go to like Patient First or one of those emergency clinics and have them look at it because you dont want it to get infected.

Answer 3

yes they can tht happend to my aunt and thy just stiched it for her

Answer 4

It is possible that you damaged a tendon or a nerve. Are you able to still move that finger? Is there any numbness? A Dr can do something if you are having problems. The same thing happened to my son. He ended up needing surgery because he cut a tendon in his thumb.
