What Causes Tingling Sensation In Fingers And Painful Wrist Post Dog Bite?

Today I was wrestling with my 10 month old puppy and I lost balance and landed on him, well needless to say one of his canines went through the ulnar part of my wrist where the carpal bones are. I have tingling sensation in my ring finger and pinky finger, hurts to bend my wrist and it sometimes feels like my pinky finger to my elbow fell asleep on me, which is hasnt. Do I need to get a MRI?

After going through your query I concluded that you got injury to your wrist. You got injury to your wrist probably you got injury to your ulnar nerve leading to numbness and tingling in ring and little finger. Mecobalamine is helpful in recovering of nerve injury .
