Yes, the message of pain from a burned finger is transmitted to the brain via nerve signals.

Is there a Finger surgery for nerve damage from an injury where the nerve was cut on the outside of left index finger?

I had surgery to repair a nerve on my right index finger 12/01/10. I am still not able to use my finger and it is 12/24/10. I have to wait for the sutures to dissolve. The Dr said it may take another week or two still. It has been a rather painful process but I do have feeling in my finger again. Also the surgery I was told isn't always effective. Talk to a hand Surgeon and see if you are a candidate. Just be prepared for a long recovery. Good luck!
