Seems like a good question to ask your hand surgeon. Did he sever some nerves, or otherwise cause nerve damage? Will those nerves recover? I had a fasciectomy 14 years ago, but never experienced nerve damage. I did experience quite a bit of post op pain, but no numbness. Is it true that a fasciotomy is more invasive, wherein it removes more of the palm tissue, rather than just the diseased fascia? If so, that may explain some things, but again, I did not have a fasciotomy, but rather a fasciectomy.

Sorry if this isn't helpful. Just trying to provide some context, I guess.

Unfortunately nerve damage is nearly impossible to avoid when dealing with a Pinky PIP. My nerve damage was certainly a lot worse a few years ago and seems to be improving. The pain you're going through is a common side effect Open Surgery and it to will go away, but much sooner than nerve damage. It's been 10 years and I would say that about 60% of my numbness healed. I'm sorry to say that it sounds like your post surgery issues are not the best. It will get better.
