have you had any ongoing issues with the thumb? 

 

Only thing I get is a prickly sensation in were scar is, it's the tendon stitches that never desolve. Apart from not being able to bend tip back no other problems.

Did they not put stitches in in the first place?

 

Looks pretty painful, hope it gets better.
 

I know your pain, I am still on sick leave, due to cutting some tendons and nerves in my fingers that required 4 hours surgery to repair.

sorry for not updating you sooner,  been busy recovering from pneumonia amongst other things..

 

but tomorrow is five weeks since I cut my finger and its been hard work,  made good progress at the start, looked clean and no sign of infection at 2 weeks..only for a nurse to put foam padding on my still open wound and during the next 5 days the foam padding  stuck to the wound and new tissue and  the nurse  pulled out all the healed tissue whilst  changing my dressing..this padding also rubbed the cut raw..

9 total visits to the hospital and 4 different Doctors,  few nurses amd a specialist later, I think 🤔...its finally getting to feel normal and look significantly better.

thanks all for the replies and any help...photos below are in order from most recent...ironically the bottom one is after two weeks healing,  and its obvious which photo was the one after the padding got stuck to it.. top photo is from today..
