@26sabrina, I don't think any one can tell you that the new symptoms of some numbness in a few of your fingers are progression of your neuropathy. Other conditions can also cause these symptoms. I would definitely discuss it with your doctor. I also have carpal tunnel syndrome in my hands which causes numbness, tingling and some pain but I don't notice all of the time. I did have a cortisone shot that seemed to help for awhile when I first had the pain in the hands along with some numbness. Here's some information on the topic:

"Finger numbness can be caused by pinched or injured nerves, carpal tunnel, diabetes, or rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Finger numbness can also be a sign of more severe conditions, such as stroke."
