[|Human|] I cut the top part of my thumb very very deep by the crease with an electric wood blade I was using to renovate my cabinets. went to the urgent care the next day, but was told it was too late for stitches. Was told not to bend my thumb and given a splint. But now 4 days later, my thumb is extremely swollen and almost numb to the touch. extremely painful to bend it and the thumb seems to be frozen.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As you are using the spent the numbness is because of lack of circulation and restricted neurological impulses. Also, try performing quick icing for the area around the thumb region, like the dorsum of hand and palm to reactivate the neural signals. Pain will also come down with quick icing and also the swelling will be reduced. Kindly keep patience as you might have made a deep cut, so soft tissue healing will take some time. Once healing is completed, the movements of the thumb can be performed. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
