Why did my finger go numb whentrying to pull off a hangnail?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say : Numbness is a neurological complaint, it would suggest you have a subtle neurological abnormality that is worsened with certain activities; carpal tunnel syndrome is just one possible explanation. I would not hesitate to be evaluated if it is causing you significant poroblems.
