why does my index finger go numb

i am being treated for hypertention if i move my head to the right i feel pain down my left arm and my thumb and index finger stays numb

Some mornings I wake up and just the tippy top of my index finger is numb, but as I go through the day my entire hand goes numb and even up into my wrist. My thumb and index finger are pretty much numb all the time now and I am finding it impossible to do buttons and tie shoes. Just now I couldn't take the lid off a tuperware and gave up on doing dishes. I guess I am scared because when this happened last time, it took my arm quickly.

I have been developing numbness in the left index finger very recently,I normally take B12 pills in excess, does this have any influence or show any sign of any disease any kind, I eat a nonvergetarian diet, am slightly obese, I am worried about this numbness, I heard some sideeffects of overdose of B12 pills, can you post a reply regarding how to treat this numbness

I always do the touch test and wherever i have a random weird pain i take my index finger and press it to the area that is feeling weird and if its an "ouch" moment i know its muscle related because you can;t touch your heart thru your ribs. It could be the way you are sleeping, could be the work that you do each day...i always say when in doubt call the doc.............

I was tucking in my shirt and heard a pop, and then felt sharp pain in my index finger. Looking at it I noticed the top knuckle is bent in the direction it should bend at about a 45 deg. angle, but it will not straighten. It stays bent at 45 deg. even if I try to straighten out my finger. There isn't a lot of pain. It was numb last night and is still not 100%. The only pain and swelling are actually on the middle knuckle. What should I do?

If I point my index finger up and bring it close to my eye the tip of my index finger will disappear and I can see double of my finger as well. But the doubled image tip does not disappear. is this normal?

How does tingling sensations feel? Does it make you want to scratch it? I've had that feel in my index fingers and big toes sense I was in elementary school. I now have a host of other symptoms.

I had a TT two years ago, and for several months thereafter, I had numbness in my hands at night, as though my hands had fallen asleep. It was a temporary condition, and not carpal tunnel. Good luck.

There is little to no numbness. The ring finger is the same as well. But my middle finger, index finger and thumb are definitely numb and slightly swollen. My index finger, though, is the only finger experiencing some pain along with the numbness and swelling. Things to note: I did not bang my elbow on anything.

What could cause my index finger to be numb and tingle when touching the joint of the finger?

Incidentally the very tip of my middle finger and wedding ring finger feel numb at the tip and sides of the nails. My right hand does not have the burning sensation (yet) but the very tips of my fingers feel a little bit numb. That about sums it up! This has been like this for about 3 weeks i've been hoping it would clear up but it is getting worse, I've made an appointment with the doctor for next week. Just thought I would ask if anybody has any ideas? Many thanks!

After the bite, my left hand went numb from my index finger to my thumb. I woke up this morning and have regained feeling in my index finger, but am still experiencing numbness in the thumb region. Should I seek medical attention or will it heal by itself?

I had CTS surgery 4 weeks ago which relieved the tingling and numbness in my thumb, index and middle finger. Prior to surgery I had numbness in all of my fingers on my right hand. They did an EMG and found loss to all my fingers. After surgery now both my ringfinger, little finger and that outer side of my hand are totally numb. I am also experiencing pain in the palm of my hand so bad that I have to take Ultram or Hydracodone.

I was having increased left shoulder blade pain and then developed severe left arm pain from shoulder blade to wrist, the enitre circumfrence. Then my index finger went numb. Pain much worse with sitting. MRI shows Broad based disc protrusion at c 6-7 has increased since prior exam . It effaces anterior subarachnoid space and mildly deforms ventral aspect of cord; Component of disc appears to compromise left foramen.

I woke up one day with my thumb, index finger and middle finger on my right hand numb and tingling. 2 weeks later my bottom lip and tip of my tongue went numb. 2 weeks after that my thumb, index finger and middle finger on my left hand went numb. Then 3 weeks after that both lips, my chin and area around my mouth and part of my cheeks went numb. This is all in a 3 month timeframe. My numbness has gotten so bad I can barely eat (entire mouth numb including tongue) and I have trouble talking.

So for a few days on and off my left index finger has been tingly. It's just the tip of my finger and it is on and off. I work as a server and use my hands a lot. I've been wondering if it's just a burn. It feels like there is a string around the first joint of my finger. Not to tight but just annoying. I can still move it and feel things so it's not completely numb just a little tingly.

s falling asleep but not my entire hand, it would be selectively And randomly my fingers. For exp my index and middle finger would feel numb and slightly painfully, thwn 15 minutes later my pinky And middle then my thumb and ring finger theny ringer and pinky. This would also be accompanied by small sharp numb but semi painful spots around my elbow.

I am a 23 year old female, with reynaud's phenomenon. Usually I suffer from very cold/numb hands, which only swell a little for maybe 10 minutes after they start to heat up. I woke up today with a very swollen index finger. I thought maybe I'd banged it, but now my little finger is swollen, too. They hurt to touch, and my hands are still cold and normal coloured. It's only on one hand - my right. I'm getting worried, now, because this hasn't happened before.

I experience pins/needles, numb finger tips and my knuckles feel very stiff and painful (esp my middle finger) .. they often get stuck when I bend them! Ive been told its carpal tunnel syndrome and that it will go once bub arrives, its due to swelling in the wrist/hands and compressing nerves. It is very unpleasant though!!

The pain in my upper back/lower neck came back really bad, as did the numbness in my index finger and tip of my right thumb. Turning my head does not seem to help. Doctor prescribed Vicodin and muscle relaxers, plus physical therapy. Since this is an HMO (Kaiser), Physical therapy was 6 weeks out. I went to a Chiropactor while waiting on PT. The Chiropractor took xrays and said my disc at one level (lower C or upper T?) was very narrow and told me there was nothing he could do.

Two days ago my right hand suddenly went numb. Mainly affects are my 2 smaller fingers. Not completely paralyzed, I can move my fingers, but they don't "go where I tell them"; I can flex them, but can't completely straighten them. Since my thumb and index finger are not affected, I can write fine. My questions are - 1) Since I have no idea about this problem, is there a cure for this?

My fingers were fine for hours because I washed my hands and pressed on them fine. After a few hours suddenly my index finger tip hurts on that hand and nothing else. The wrist does not hurt. I then remembered what happened at the grocery store and think that might have done something. I've tried putting ice around the wrist and finger multiple times for two days and it doesn't seem to be getting better yet.
