Question 1

i cut my middle ring and pinky finger , an damaged my tendons in all 3 fingers , & severed my nerve in my ring finger. i had surgery to repair all of that.my question is i have excessive scar tissue and cant move my finger tips , will they remove it?

Accepted Answer

: First, participate in hand therapy.  It may be that scar tissue is revised, but you need to discuss with the surgeon.  Best of outcomes.

Question 2

i have a ring finger that feels like it is triggering
do not know if it is a nerve?

Accepted Answer

No: It's not a nerve. See your doctor.

Question 3

what can cause my pinky and ring finger (ulnar nerve) to be numb?

Accepted Answer

Ulnar nerve: Check with your doctor to rule out Carpal Tunnel or Tennis elbow, or other causes of nerve impingement.

Question 4

elbow clicks when bent, been 2 years. numbness in pinky and ring finger, gone when no physical activity for a few weeks. maybe ulnar nerve?

Accepted Answer

Probably ulnar nerve: The numbness is almost certainly coming from the ulnar nerve. The clicking may be coming from the nerve flipping in and out of its groove. However, if the clicking is not coming from the inner side of the elbow, it is something else. At age 20, I would not ignore the numbness.

Question 5

pinched nerve in neck. tingling in pinky and ring finger. now i'm getting dizzy/feeling like fainting. gets better when i move neck forward. related?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: you are describing cervical disc disease with radiculopathy. In my practice I have seen very high uncontrolled blood pressures that was secondary to cervical disc herniation. A good history and EMG- Nerve conduction test with an MRI cervical spine will give clinch the diagnosis - this easy. What to do about it is often harder. Consult your PCP to see if you need to see Neuro/sx specialist.

Question 6

i injured my ulnar nerve 2 yrs ago from a fall.my pinky & half of my ring finger went numb for 3 weeks.it still hurts and tingles once in awhile. why?

Accepted Answer

See details: The ulnar nerve is still irritated, damaged or entrapped. Have the issue elevated if you are concerned. If it is a minor problem, live with it.

Question 7

hand was injured swollen inside bruised now freezing cold can move fingers but ring finger doesn't want to go all the way up. is it broken or nerves?

Accepted Answer

Hand Injury: You need to seek medical care as soon as possible.  There can be several reasons for your symptoms.  This is not the forum to seek advice about those symptoms.  See your primary care physician, an urgent care or the emergency for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 8

bent ring finger backward. i now have occasional numbness in all fingertips and hand feels achey and tired. could this be a pulled tendon or nerve dam?

Accepted Answer

?Pulled nerve: Your symptoms suggest that your median nerve at the wrist may have been pulled. See a neurologist for better diagnosis.

Question 9

nerve problem that has lasted for over 12 months. started with tingling in left pink/ring finger and a weird knot feeling in right armpit. the tingling in those fingers is almost gone but has changed to weak feeling in left thumb. (no strength-loss?

Accepted Answer

Need to sort out: Course appears confusing, as initially distribution of ulnar nerve, or C8 T-1, and now median involvement perhaps.  If you wish to objectify and pinpoint reaching a diagnosis, get a visit with a neurologist and likely undergo an EMG test.

Question 10

shooting pain from shoulder blade to ring finger comes amd goes? shoulder makes grinding noises.  hist pots and eds. cardiac cause or nerve?

Accepted Answer

Nerve: Likely C7 nerve root. Also symptoms suggest a separate shoulder problem.
