Nerve issue: There is a high likelihood this may be carpal tunnel syndrome (compression of median nerve) but with a good exam other nerve compression issues can be checked for as well.

Varies: There are many potential causes and you should probably be checked. One of the more common causes of numbness in the hand and fingers is known as carpal tunnel syndrome in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist. Thank you for your question.
