Two Fingers are Numb

Posted by sosaidhaq @sosaidhaq, May 19, 2016

For the last 4 days, I am experiencing numbness in my two middle fingers of left hand. The extent of pain changes throughout the day. My doctor advised me to have a c.spine x ray which I did. Now he is telling me that I may never will be able to get away from this thing. He just recommended some remedies. If anyone has some experience or any information on the matter, please help.

Hi @sosaidhaq, and welcome to Connect, an online community where people can talk with other patients, ask questions and share experiences. I removed the link to your x-ray because it contained personal identifying information. You're welcome to share more about your condition on Connect though.

I'm tagging @sjpphil, @cvikas and @walden0228, all members who have recently discussed numbness in their fingers and hands. @sosaidhaq - I think the group could greatly benefit from the remedies your doctor recommended. What were his suggestions?

The numbness and tingling in my hands disappeared after an excellent hand<br>surgeon did my carpal tunnel surgeries. He is part of a great orthopaedic<br>and spine group here in CO. I'm sure Mayo has such also. Get the best<br>hand-knowlge person you can find.<br>

I'm wondering if you have been checked for carpal tunnel syndrome? I had similar symptoms with the worst pain at night. I wore a splint at night that helped. I had carpal tunnel release surgery done on my left hand 7 years ago with great success in relieving my symptoms. 4 weeks ago I had the same surgery carried out on my right hand because I developed the same problem with my right hand. It appears to have been very successful as I am no longer experiencing any pain just a little residual tingling and numbness in my index finger that I expect to eventually disappear. Worth asking your doctor about nerve conduction test n your hand.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I will ask my doctor to look up for the carpal tunnel syndrome. For now I am getting a splint to help get over that pain at night. Also, I found some exercises that can help.

There is a yoga position that helps that...look it up. There is probably a YouTube to help with the movement.
