Speared Thumb With An Exacto Knife, Bled Profusely. Did I Cut Radial Artery?
I speared my thumb with an exacto knife, it bleed profusely , as I think I cut the radial artery . I got it to stop bleeding, but I m worried about blood vessel . If I use my hand for gripping, it s very painful and the blood is slowly pooling inside my thumb. Should I spend the $150 and see a doctor in the morning?
You should only see a doctor if the bleeding persists or if you have loss of sensibility in your thumb after 1 week of this episode. Hope this was helpful.
