    hey there
    off and on for the past 3 weeks or so ive had numbness in my figners. started with my pinky finger and ring finger when my elbows had pressure (ulnar nerve got pushed on and was just uber sensitive) but no wmy left hand has been half numb for nearly the whole day. pinky finger, ring finger and about half of my palm. arm bent or straight, over my head or at tmy side or in my lap it all seems the same

    i saw my doctor a week ago when it wa sjust random numbness from pressure and he said i was probably jsut retaining water and wasnt much to worry about, but its getting worse and ive been drinking a ton of water since weve been stupid hot lately. yes i will probably go see a doctor tomorrow... if not tomorro wthen thursday for sure (headed downtown on thursday)

    this is getting really annoying and a little worriesome, so any suggestions yall might have would be awesome

    This sounds a bit like Reynauds disease, see a doctor as you are going to.

    Hmm, sound much like my carpel tunnel symptoms.

    carpal tunnel affects the other fingers, the ulnar nerve is the one that affects the pinky and about half ot he ring finger... carpal tunnel is for the other fingers (pointer middle and half the ring as well as the thumb sometimes)

    getting bloodwork done tomorrow anda nerve test... sometime. may be as late as october

    Numbness could be a blood sugar and/or circulation thing. Most people do have blood sugar problems so that's something to explore

    It could also be a b-12 deficiency
