Finger Cut - Surgery - 2 weeks later = numb/tingling/no sensation

I had the inside of my middle finger from the top to the middle of my palm. Doctor said nothing was damaged and surgery was done 24 hours later. My full hand was bandaged/dressed and I could see and touch my fingeee using the other hand. I remember touching my fingers to see if they feel ok and the side of my ring finger (one next to middle finger so not the finger I cut) was numb and senseless. I would say nearly 0% feeling but only on that one side of the finger full length. Extra info: I was under full anaesthesia and had a full block on my hand. Fast forward 10/11 days after the surgery I went back to hospital for check up and dress changing. On the drive home I realised that numbness abs lack of feeling etc. I panicked as starter moving it. By the way, u can move and close the finger but there is pain on the bottom of the finger so I would say 85% painless motion and then pain for that last close/curl/extension. I called the hospital they said with very few words it's normal etc and asked to come in 5 days after I called them. After reading stuff online I was scared when I saw it could be Negev damage.

Any doctor that sees this or someone with same experience, help me out. Is this normal? Do I beee surgery? Is it for lifetime? If not, how lomg time my finger back to normal? What can I do to Speer it up?

ALSO!!! What I'm mostly worried about? When I extend raise or stretch my arm, that Finger burns/tingles and kind of hurts

Thanks for any help
