Why do my fingers go numb from just holding my phone???
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numbness: Are you one of those teenagers who always play with their phones and type? because that could put you at risk for carpal Tunnel syndrome which is the inflammation of the Median nerve, a nerve which goes to your thumb, 2nd and 3rd finger. if you have tingling and numbness in those fingers then you better take it easy on the phone and computer for a little while.
