A member asked:
Supposing your wrist, for example is anaesthesized, does that mean that your fingers are completely numb as well?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Assuming you were given an anesthetic injection in the wrist, it can affect median nerve and or ulnar nerve which allow fingers to feel all sensations.
