I recently cut my middle finger while i was at work and had to get 2 stitches . When i got the stitches and after a few days i couldn't feel from the cut up.When i got my stitches taken out i asked the lady and shes said that i might of damaged some nerves. But some days i can feel a little bit in my finger and some days its tingling(like how your foot falls asleep on you).I was wondering does anybody know how long it would take to get most to all of the sensation back into my middle finger?

The tingling is a good sign, but its impossible to tell how long or indeed if you will get full feeling back;

It will vary and you may never regain ALL of the feeling. I severed a much larger nerve in my arm and the doctor said I would never get my feeling back -- but after many years, I totally did! So you really can't tell -- it's just too individual.
