So, I was trying to fix a belt and didn't exactly have the proper tools.
There is a tiny screw that needed to be unscrewed and it was quite stuck.
After some time I got it loose using a beret, but the very very tip, right side next to the nail on my index finger was like numb, from all the pressure I was putting on it I guess.
It's just a tiny spot that is "numb". It kinda feels like its asleep but just when I touch it.
Did I damage nerves or something? Its not discolored or anything, just a lack of normal feeling there.
Been like that for a day or 2.
Is it numb for ever? o_O
I know medical questions are usually instantly "Go to the doctor" but I don't think this warrants that.
Maybe someone is knowledgeable on the subject of nerves or something

This is one of those "not much we can do about it, you'll be annoyed but alright with it" sort of conditions.
It sounds like its a pretty small area so I wouldn't worry about it unless it goes on for a while, or you start seeing any discoloration.
They're meant to do this, it's why scratching works on itches.
Usually. I cut one of my fingers pretty deep 15 years ago, and as a result the left side of the last joint went numb. Over the years it's very, very slowly improved, but there's still a spot that's numb to this day.
It's not a problem, though. After a couple months I stopped noticing it, and it hasn't affected how I use my hands at all.
