Healthgrades Editorial Staff. Tingling in both feet can have a number of causes, including an injury, sitting in one position for a long period of time, or a circulation problem that impairs blood flow to the feet. Tingling in both feet can also be caused by nerve damage from extreme heat or cold or from toxic substances.
A lopped-off finger will still have a place on your hand for about 12 hours after amputation if not refrigerated, but a full limb like an arm or leg -- left at room temperature -- must be reattached within six to 12 hours, due to rapid death of muscle tissue.
The thumb and wrist are placed in a plaster cast for 4 weeks. The fingers are left free and should be moved, as should the tip of the thumb. After this time the wrist and thumb may be placed in a plastic splint for a further 2 weeks whilst physiotherapy is started to help thumb movement. After 6 weeks, the hand is left free to move and it may take up to 6 months for it to completely settle down after the surgery. Fig.
