A member asked:
Hi i have a very slight numbness in my right fingers, i think it is improving but i'm not sure, what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pinched nerve: Numbness in the fingers of one hand at a young age is usually due to a pinched nerve. The compression of the nerve could occur at the neck, the elbow, or the wrist. If it improves over the next week, do nothing. If it persists, see your general doctor. There are other diseases called neuropathies but these would not typically improve quickly.
