Tingling sensation on back of hand 24 hours after palm laceration
30F. TL;DR: sliced open my palm with a very sharp knife, noticed the back of my hand feels odd. Photos of the injury and area of tingling at the bottom of this post.
I was cooking and my very very sharp knife slid right through a piece of fruit and into my palm at the base of my pointer finger. I looked down and my first thought was "that looks like an open muppet mouth". The amount of blood and the wound's appearance shocked me and I immediately held my hand in a tight fist while I waited for my boyfriend to take me to the ER (I don't do well with blood and have passed out during a previous blood draw). Fortunately the tight fist pretty much kept it closed and after 15ish minutes it wasn't bleeding.
The NP said it was a shallow wound which surprised me because of the initial gaping appearance but she said it was probably hard to see with the blood. She said she could do one stitch or glue it closed, i chose glue based on her description (as a side note I regretted this almost immediately - I'm having a very difficult time doing normal house stuff without a pulling sensation and a sharp twinge of pain any time I bend/straighten my pointer finger). They also gave me a tetanus shot.
In the ER, my pointer finger was a bit tingly. The back of my hand also weirdly hurt, but I assumed it was cramping from keeping my hand in a fist and didn't mention this to the NP. Now that it has been 24ish hours I notice the back of my hand feels tingly kind of like it fell asleep a little bit.
Google said this could be normal, I wanted to check here since the ER only checked my pointer finger for movement/sensation.
