Why do my fingers go numb when i spend some time playing on my phone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Physical stress: Your finger muscles are working out excessively. You should take some good breaks from this activity every 15-20 minutes and "stretch the hands and fingers out" before returning. You never know...maybe in that time you can figure out something worthwhile to do. See the picture? Tired fingers...give 'em a break man!
