the numbness is from the elbow down but it is not really numb , i must have severed the nerve in my finger, and an artery actually, that part i know for sure

the object was a drive shaft from a transfer truck that weighed about 130 lbs the way it fell my finger slipped between the yolk and the u joint and cut both sides, took 4 stitches on the pad of the finger and split the fingernail

you probably have some nerve damage.Not much one can do right now.If you have no signs of infecion in the wound that is. If it hasnt improved when you go to get stitches removed..ask the doc.
