Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Our car was on a jack. It fell off and I dumbly tried to catch it and my hand got smashed and stuck between the car and a tire. I don t think anything is broken but one of my fingers is numb. It feels like there is like a string right across the joints from my hand to my fingers. What could be wrong?
