About the 15th of Feb 2009 i cut my hand open on a cracked window, i tried puttin blinds up that had fell, leaned on the crack with my hand and sliced my palm open below my index finger. After attending A&E they said i would need surgery to repair the nerve as i couldnt feel my index finger (still can't and its nearly 2 months later) was in hospital for 3 days as im diabetic also had the surgery which left me with 8 stitches. After the would itself began to heal i noticed a change in my middle finger and the one next to it, below were the nail is, the joint around the finger tip began to swell, i went to the doc to see if my hand had an infection but according to him this is normal its the regeneration of the nerve and blood flow returning. But now these have swelt even more and i have no nail growth at all in these 2 fingers, i dont relly want to bother the doc again for him to tell me he has already told me wots happening, anyone with similar problems? please let me know
