How long does it take for a severed nerve in a finger to heal?

Answer by  malone (4817)

The nerves take time to mend, long after the injury appears to be healed. It can take months, if not longer, depending on the damage. Talk to your doctor about the restricted movement; that could be caused by any number of things.

You probably will not ever get full movement back ever again, because the nerve is the part of the finger that tells you if something hurts or doesn't.

Might have also severed a tendon.

I cut my hand and severed part of the nerve several week ago. I couldn't bend my finger at all for a bout a week, which the doctor said was mainly from swelling. I still have numbness in that finger though.
