Carpal tunnel?: Consider carpal tunnel syndrome. This causes the tips of the thumb, forefinger, middle finger and sometimes part of the fourth or ring finger to feel numbness or tingling. It may feel worse with typing, writing, sleeping or driving. This condition can often be treated by wearing wrist splints.

Numb hand: Sometimes traction on a root due to extension of an extremity can cause some distal tingling and numbeness. It can occur due to tight clothing around the forearm or wrist, jemelry or tethering of a periferal nerve in the arm. Often there is alittle contribution from a few different sources and prositional changes help often. Bend the elbow maybe. It can mean carpal tunnel compression too...
