4 days ago my left pinky finger and half my left ring finger started to feel numb. I figured it was just a pinched nerve or something and it'd go away a couple days. No dice, my my pinky has been feeling more and more numb. My ring finger seems to be about the same though. Also, sometimes when I go to lift things it feels like a shock going from my elbow to my hand, and for a few seconds half my whole hand feels numb. The shock isn't painful, just weird feeling, and the half hand numbness only lasts maybe 3 seconds and then I back to good ol' 1.5 finger numbness. I heard that this sometimes happens if you have carpal tunnel syndrome. I dunno though, has me alittle worried. I'm gonna call the doc office tomorrow but god only knows when the next avail. appointment is. Anyone had this happen before?

Hard to call. I've seen it happen with carpal tunnel, but you can't really narrow it down with something like that. Check your blood sugar. You ever get cold hands/feet?

Naw, I thought about circulation problems too, but the left pinky is same temp. as my right pinky.

My pinky finger has been feeling weird too lately..not sure why?

PS - Yes that is my finger. Anyone guess what happend to it?

Vin - Try massaging your fingers. I think you probably pinched something too. Maybe try soaking them in warm water, massage...or ice it then massage...or both. I've had what you describe, but not for more than maybe a few hours. Its always been my fingers too, none in particular.

yea tried that lol. Tried to pull more blood straight from my wrist to my pinky. Helped for a few seconds at most, back to numbness. Dunno, seems like I'm gonna hafta talk to the good doctor.

WTH happened to your finger?

My knuckles are kinda bad due to cracking them. Not that extreme though!

that's a pinched nerve.. it's just staying pinched or pined against something else.. probably your ulna or radius.

My hands and feet mostly hands go numbish from time to time and hurt ever so often. Yes its from my type 2 diabetes oh well everyone has their problems.

Stupid life.

Born that way.

Went to Clinic today. Pinched/bruised ulna nerve. Should go away in about a week.
