Question : I pinched my right index finger putting down a 35lb dumbbell inproperly on the rack around 1230pm Sunday 5/18/14 and it did not stop bleeding until The doctor at the ER put 2 stitches and closed it up by 9pm that night. I don't get my stitches removed until 5/28/14. Today is Thursday 5/22/14 and even though I get my eight hours of sleep I feel really tired with no energy to study or motivation. Could this be the effect of loosing 9 hrs of blood on Sunday? If so should I get seen earlier than my appointment 5/28/14 to be seen,or just wait until that appointment date? Thank you XXXXXXX 5/22/14 11:03am CA, time

Brief Answer:
Just wait until your appointment date.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.

Do not worry, these not seems to be due to bleeding. There is nothing to rush to the doctor. Stitches are generally removed after 10 days. So just wait until that appointment date.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.

Take care
