Dr. Raymond Raven answered

Specializes in Hand Surgery

A day or so: Prolonged pressure on the tips of your fingers can result in temporary numbness. It may last a few hours to a few days. You can help hasten recovery by massaging and rubbing your finger tips. Consider taking breaks between sets in the future...
