spinal injury with finger numbness. how does that happen?

Accepted Answer

Nerve damage: Sensation in the body is governed by nerve cells which run from the spine all the way to the tips of the fingers.  That is why damage to the spine can affect sensation even in a finger tip.  In general, the further away from the central nervous system (spine and brain) an injury occurs, the easier it is for it to heal.  A spinal disc, pressing on a nerve, can be removed to help in some cases.

Question 9

i've been having finger numbness on my pinky and ring finger for the past four days. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Ulnar nerve: The little and ring finger are innervated  by the ulnar nerve. Tingling can be caused by compression in the wrist elbow or neck. You need to be seen by a hand surgeon to determine the cause of your symptoms.

Question 10

This should not cause finger numbness.  However is you are breathing faster than normal, this can cause some extremity numbess.  If this keeps up get it checked out.
