Shallow cuts hitting nerves/tendons?
 

Okay so I self harmed (not the best idea I know) but for me it was quite mild, I mean they bled a fair bit and stuff but they weren't really gaping or anything, however since I've had pain at a particular point where one of the cuts in that feels like years ago when I hit a nerve/tendon (can't remember which is long time ago) in a really deep cut. Basically I wondered if it is possible to do that sort of damage in what are definitely narrow, almost certainly (my memory isn't very clear) not deep cuts. The wounds are just above my ankle on my leg. I'm not bothered about the pain (obviously if you self harm you expect that) but I'm just a little concerned about the Nature of the pain.

The human body is individual so it's never impossible for a nerve to be closer to the skin surface.

And above your ankle/lower leg is an area where the skin is very thin anyway, and there's not a lot of fat tissues or muscle fibres between skin and bone. So it's possible, yes.

Be careful.

****. Anything I can do to help it until Monday when doctors re-opens if that's what it is?

I think just keeping it very clean and covered is your best bet. there's not much you yourself can do to fix a nerve despite your epic abilities (:P) if that's what it is... but being able to present a well cared for wound will def give the doctor a good starting point from which to work.

The hospital told me that I had severed almost every nerve in my lower right arm and I didn't recieve treatment for them. With nerves I think its something that time can only help with. Time is a great healer.
