Possible nerve damage to my finger?

I cut my hand on a broken glass just over a week ago.
I had a really deep cut on the inside of my left index finger, right on the knuckle in the middle.
The cut was glued back together by a nurse, but down the inside of my finger I can't feel a thing past where the cut is. The other (outside) side of my finger is fine.
The cut itself seems to be healing fine, still a bit sore, but I'm unable to grip things properly and applying and stress to the finger hurts like fire.
Has anyone had a similar injury that's gotten better? The nurse didn't say anything about a severed nerve or tendon, but I've no idea how long I should be waiting for it to heal before worrying...

If you have nerve damage it will take a long time to heal, like 6 months to a year or more. The nerve will heal itself, but it takes forever. If you didn't see a Dr., maybe you should?

Ouch, sorry this has happened. My heart ached when reading your story. I don't have any information for you, but I offer my condolences!! :(
