hat moment when your finger goes numb and you feel invincible until the stitches start.

Is this some sort of reaction to the local anesthesia?

Depending on where on your finger the stitches are, I’ll warn you, it could be really, really weird when it heals. I cut my index finger, along the top between the 1st and 2nd knuckle. As it healed the nerves regrew wonky and I had crazy tingling sensations in other parts of my hand. It also takes forever for those nerves to regrow.
Thankfully I didn’t hit any tendons (close though). but so many nerve endings in your finger, even on the back side of your hand. And yeah, lidocaine is awful for those first couple injections.

The white streaks are caused by epinephrine in the lidocaine. It causes vasoconstriction and the pattern is OP’s blood vessels.

Hey finger brother, I just got those finger blocks too! Sliced my nail right up the middle with a chef’s knife that slipped. Oops.
