<s>[INST] I had an injury to my left hand. It was lacerated from broken glass at the base of the palm underneath the Pinky. I am a violinist and have had pain near the incision but have had numbness with my ring and pinky fingers. I am concern that I may have some nerve damage. [/INST] HIT hanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor.  Most likely you might have sustained injury to the nerve that supplies sensation for your ring and little fingers. But nothing to worry if the injury is mild then it will recover in few days to weeks, and you shall regain the sensation. But if the injury is severe you may not get back the sensation for life.  So you need to get Nerve conduction study of your left hand which will tell whether the injury is mild or severe.  Kindly get the test done and revert to me. Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarifications feel free to ask. </s>
