A member asked:
Numb thumb and pointer finger after elbow surgery, should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A little: Depending on the procedure some numbness can occur secondary to swelling and traction on the the tissues. If you had a nerve block, this might also be a factor. In any case, you should contact your surgeon - they will want to know and they can tell you whether or not this is "normal" for the type of procedure that you had.
