Cut by skate

[kutupnicely]

I was cut across the top of my forearm by a hockey skate about 2 months ago now, I still have no feeling in the top of my hand, my hand is constantly tingly and I have very limited movement of my wrist. I have a plastic surgeon going in on February 3rd and was just wondering about an approximate recovery time-line? I know if varies on person to person but just an average time-line is all I'm looking for.. My doctor is impossible to get a hold of .. which is why I am here. Any help would be great. Thanks

Basically no one can give an answer to this until they officially diagnose what was severed. Tingling indicates the nerve is involved in some way. Also the movement of the wrist (I am assuming in extension and not flexion) could indicate either tendon and/or nerve.

As a general comment either way you are looking at months rather than weeks. The nerve will obviously take longer it it was severed but perhaps you can use some form of bracing if it is permitted to at least stay at training
