Monica Said:

Is there any way you can get surgery without being put to sleep???!!!!?

We Answered:

Perhaps his hand surgery can be done with a local anaesthetic. A general anaesthetic is certainly required for most surgery but some minor surgery can be done with a local anaesthetic. Hand surgery for carpal tunnel, for example, is normally done with a local anaesthetic.

How long does it take a broken pinkie finger to heal without surgery?

We Answered:

Yes, it will heal. You NEED to wear the splint for the specified amount of time because that is exactly how long it will take to heal.

Think of it this way. You broke your pinkie finger. That is a small break compared to what other people break. I broke my ankle and was in an air cast and on crutches for 8 weeks. Trust me, your worry is unfounded.

Vincent Said:

How much compensation should i get if my left hand has been injured and has only 60% usage?

We Answered:

You have a problem, so I hope you have Underinsured motorist. Dairyland doesn't usually write more than the minimum limits (in some states that's as low as $10,000.

As to the value, the problem is going to be showing Dairyland how much this is going to affect you over time, and that your income will be, or may be reduced, and if so by how much. This could be a potentially high value claim, but then again, it could be as low as the state minimum.

first thing I would do is find out what the limit is for the person who hit you. If it's the state minimum, ask for that, it should be reasonable, but also put your own insurance carrier for underinsured motorist on notice, as I suspect you're going to have to deal with them at some point

Johnny Said:

I had shoulder surgery and two weeks afterward the tip of my thumb won't bend,1 week later I can't bend index

We Answered:

hmm. this is an interesting question to me. Are you getting any swelling in your arm? because if so the swelling could be going down to your hand, because remember, your arm is always down and not always elevated. so there is a possibility that you have some swelling down your arm. do you take anti inflammatories? you may want to if its swelling.
also, is it tingling or numb sometimes? because you could have some issues with your nerves in your arm and hand. If it continues to bother you, go back to the dr and see if you should see a neurologist for this issue. I hope that things work out for you!
