A member asked:
I broke my finger 3 months ago and now i often have numbness and stiffness in my hand. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many reasons: You probably had your finger splinted or pinned. The immobility would stiffen your joint, particularly with the trauma to the bone. Fractures and injure the digital nerves, of which you have lateral and medial nerves running on either side of the joint.
