Q: Numbness In Palm

I cut my wrist about 14 years ago while closing a glass window. I had
to go to surgery and had 3 stitiches in the cut and I was told I
was lucky as I was 2cm from the radial artery. I was also asked if all
the glass had been removed which I replied yes though I wasn't sure.

Since I had this accident the thenar area has always been numb but I am beginning to feel some pain. The pain isn't constant and it's not excrutiating. I'm wondering if I should see the doctor or is it just something I have to live with due to damaged muscles or nerves? Thanks in advance.
