I'm 32 years old and live a very attive lifestyle. I work 60 hours a week at two jobs. Through the week I work in a motorcycle shop pushing bikes, writing ro's and typing alot of damage estimates. On the weekends I bounce at a bar taking out and dumping trash cans, and physically throwing people out from time to time. I also ride about ten thousand miles a year on motorcycles and have been riding for fifteen years. Memorial day weekend I got into a fight with some hopped up crack head at the track the night before the Indy 500 and in my drunkeness I tried to get a fish hook (finger) in this guys cheek and he ended up bitting down on my index finger. It took three friends of mine a good cople of minutes to get this guy off of me. In the end I had a nasty open bite wound, a jammed finger and a swollen hand from hitting the guys before he bit me. Never went to the doctor. Kept it clean and watched for any sign of infection and after a few days on ice the swelling went down in the hand, in another two weeks the bite had healed up and I was getting feeling back in my finger. Then I couldn't make a fist with out alot of pain in the index finger. Well at first I couldn't at all but then it got to where I could. Week before last I was doing really well, had spent a little time back onn the bag and was squeezing a sqeeze ball all day at work trying to loosen up that finger. It hurt to do it but I just thought I could work though it.
Saturday morning I woke up and it was like my hand was asleep which happens to me often. I laid my arm off the side of the bed and slept another half hour. When I got up the hand was still numb. An hour later no better. It's been that way for a week. I can bend the index finger a little but my thumb just won't bend on it's own. It will bend with help from my other hand and doesn't hurt to do so. It just won't bend at the joint on it's own. The prompt care at the hospital put me on anti-imflamitory pills I ran out of yesterday and told me to wear a wrist splint. Xrays of my hand showed no problems with the bone structure. I'm going for nerve test Monday and then have to go see another Doctor.
Has anyone had CT?
