Question 1

hi could numbness in my right hand middle finger be linked to my prolactinoma i have? it was 2mm at my last mri and since i have had a baby/breastfeed

Accepted Answer

No: That symptom does not sound like it is being caused by a small Prolactinoma

Question 2

i have numbness in my middle right hand finger?

Accepted Answer

Carpal tunnel : The most common cause of numbness in the middle finger of the hand is compression of the median nerve at the wrist. The middle finger is followed by the index finger, thumb and half of the ring finger. If you also have blanching of the finger along with numbness you may have raynaud's syndrome, a vascular constriction brought on by cold. Wrist position can affect the numbness.

Question 3

i have numbness in my left middle finger tip?

Accepted Answer

Finger Tip Numbness: Carpal tunnel syndrome, often linked to extensive typing on a keyboard, is a common condition associated with finger numbness. The carpal tunnel is a tube-like structure located along the palm side of the wrist. The tube holds and protects the main nerve leading to the hand and the associated tendons. Pressure placed on the nerve produces symptoms, such as finger numbness.

Question 4

after carrying 4 heavy plastic bags i now have numbness in the tip of my middle finger. it's been 2 hours. any suggestions would be appreciated?

Accepted Answer

Compression neuritis: should resolve with time and/or the use of 1-2 Advil or 1 tablet of Aleve as directed, assuming that you are not allergic to NSAIDS. Sounds like you might have compressed the median nerve or carpal tunnel. If symptoms persist 24-48 hrs. you must be seen and examined.

Question 5

my husband has constant numbness in the tips of his fingers and just to day his right middle finger is completely numb. and forarm goes all numb?

Accepted Answer

Nerve pinch vs other: If always on the same side, in same location, then it could very well be a nerve pinch - somewhere along the nerve that serves that area could be getting pinched - maybe a joint or a nerve tunnel. If it's bilateral, and differing locations, then could be more general problem like neck disk or arthritis problems or even neuropathy (progressive slow nerve degeneration). Would get checked.

Question 6

i have had numbness for a week or so between the base of my right index finger and middle finger.
i have just noticed that i now have the same type of numbness at the base of my left middle finger and ring finger?
i'm just wondering what this could b

Accepted Answer

Carpal tunnel: A common cause is carpal tunnel syndrome caused by thickened wrist ligaments pressing on nerves entering the fingers. A hand surgeon can evaluate you for this and discuss treatment options like a brace,physical therapy,corticosteroid injection or surgery. A neurologist can perform a test(EMG) to document the diagnosis if needed.

Question 7

bad dizzy spell and white middle finger with numbness, what do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

See a neurologist: You seem to have 2 separate issues but both can be handled by neurologist.

Question 8

i hit the back of my hand yesterday and immediately had numbness, today same thing. it's right between my first and middle finger. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Neuropraxia: This is like a whiplash of the nerves in the hand/wrist region. Hopefully, this will gradually decrease and go away. You can ice the hand to eliminate any swelling that may be present.

Question 9

numbness in my finger tip middle finger on left hand?

Accepted Answer

Carpal tunnel: You may have carpal tunnel syndrome, characterized by hand pain and recurrent numbness or "pins and needle" sensations in the thumb, index, middle finger and the lateral aspect of the ring finger. It may be triggered by use (driving, keyboard use). Wearing a wrist cock- up splint is very effective. Surgery reserved for severe cases. Check with your physician if symptoms persist or worsen.

Question 10

what would cause "power surge" feeling thru r hand & fingers, after c4-7 d&fusion?  then numbness along r side of middle finger?

Accepted Answer

Nerve irritation: Compression of nerves or the spinal cord can cause the symptoms you describe. This compression may be residual, related to your preoperative condition, or new, possibly from disc protrusion or bone spurs. Finally, even after adequate decompression there may be residual nerve irritation. A ct or MRI scan should help with this diagnosis.
