This has never happened before!

[ShadowGirl]

I made 5 cuts on my wrist and now my entire forearm is numb. This has never happened to me before!!! Is it a bad thing? Has anyone else had this happen to them?

[XxMurderedKissesxX]

Not on my arm but on my leg,alot of times. First time it was simply the natural pain killers kicking in. The second time was because I cut to deep and it was nerve damage. Where ur cuts reallly deep? Sorry if u feel uncomfortable with me asking,its just because I wanna rule out nerve damage. It could also be that if u cut there often ur wrist is getting used to the pain.

They weren't that deep, probably medium depth

Medium depth as in.. How many mm or cm, roughly? Or inches if you do inches.

Could you see the fatty layers? Bone? Or was it just a semi-deep scratch? I hardly cut on my arm but when I cut deep, it doesn't tend to hurt. It could be nerve damage or it's just deep. It tends to hurt less when it is because your nerves are at the surface of your skin, plus, once you cut the nerve, there's little pain(numb).

I would say they are deep scratches. I can't see bone or anything, but my arm has been feeling tingly ever since last night

It could be damage. My brother had a breakdown of sorts and cut (farther up on his forearm though, not on his wrist). His hand/arm has been feeling tingly/numb. He found out he cut into the tendon. So maybe, it is some sort of damage. I am not sure though.
