I simply took all the drugs they kept prescribing then went for physiotherapy a month after the injury when the swelling had gone down. It took a year for me to regain the complete use of the hand.

And no I wasn't bitten by a scorpion. The bone of the catfish pierced the nerve end of my pinkie on the left hand.

It really took quite a long time to heal...Sorry.
