While Fighting Twisted Thumb And Index Finger, Numb Feeling, Pain. Cure?
While wrestling with my girlfriend, she bit my wrist and it caused pain to shoot down to my thumb and index finger and the area between those two fingers. This happened last night and I woke up this morning with the same numb feeling(the type of numb you get when the dentist gives you a shot in the gums), I had when she bit me. It happened almost instantly. Now I m worried that there could be real damage. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Hi and welcome to HCM
numb feeling after twisting injury to thumb and index finger could be due to rupture of superficial nerve fibres. Give rest to the part. It will recover gradually. Taking methylcobalamin supplements and pain killer will be helpful
Hope this will helps you. Take care.
