Q: Can't feel my thumbs and pinky due to handcuff. What to do next?
I was under the influence, but cognit of what was going on. I smoke weed for meditation reason, biggest mistake doing it in New York. I was trying to explain to my parent's something and they was frighten. They called the medic so that I can be checked on, but before they could arrived. Cops showed up and because I was praising the word Jesus Christ I was then handcuffed. Ever since Nov the sixth I can't feel my pinky and thumbs on both hands. I cried out for them to at least loosen up the cuff to no avail. I told them I am a military veteran and this is something is not to trip about and is normal, because I only do it for connection to the most powerful. But they did not wanted to listen to me and due to my complications of what I have been diagnosed via the VA now my depression, anxiety is through the roof and worst case of it all, I am afraid that I won't be able to feel my fingers for the rest of my life. Suffering from compartment syndrome gives me an Idea. Please Help. New York
