Sudden numbness of fingertips and toes?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sudden...: If it's sudden, it generally means that there is some nerve impingement going on. However, this usually doesn't happen in all the fingertips and toes. There are a number of different types of neuropathy that can cause this, but these come on gradually. See a doctor for a workup.
