Question 1

numb finger from spray painting - will it be fine tomorrow?  was holding the spray button too long.

Accepted Answer

Should be: Pressure on a nerve for a prolonged period of time can result in temporary numbness and/or paralysis. Depending on the amount and duration of pressure, symptoms usually resolve spontaneously. If symptoms persist after a day or so, see your doctor for an evaluation.

Question 2

the tip of my index finger of right hand has gone numb after spraying a paint from can. it is persisting even after a week. elbow bone is also paining?

Accepted Answer

Repetitive stress: I don't know how long you were holding the can and and how hard you were pushing down on it to get out the contents but it sounds like you are a victim of what is called "repetitive stress injury". It will pass with time. In the future you might buy a small flexible rubber cap to put over the hard plastic nozzle button they ask you to push on. Also use a shoulder pad.

Question 3

what can cause a numb finger?

Accepted Answer

Neurologic injury: Most commonly either compression neuropathy of median or ulnar nerve, or neuroapraxic injury which is essentially a bruising of the nerve if persists seek care.

Question 4

can anaemia causes finger numbness?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Anemia is too few red blood cells.  This lowers your oxygen carrying capacity of your blood.  As a result of this your heart and lungs need to work harder to circulate your blood.  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.

Many causes: Some causes of random hand and finger numbness include cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerve at the neck), thoracic outlet syndrome (pinched nerve or blood vessel in the upper chest/shoulder region) and peripheral neuropathy (carpal or cubital tunnel, and diabetic neuropathy).

Can be: You can damage your brachial plexus with certain dislocations. I would recommend seeing a physician to check on both vascular and nerve issues to make sure there is not lasting damage or necessary interventions. Consider seeing a physiatrist for this type of injury as they will be able to do an EMG if necessary.
