Sometimes my fingers are numb when I hold something, and I don t feel it, what s going on?

When I was sleeping, I pressed it, and the oxygen in my fingers was insufficient.

Most of the fingers of both hands occur at the same time, and the cause can often be recovered after being removed, oral or injection of vitamin B1, acupuncture, etc.** can promote recovery Second, the ulnar nerve is damaged, and the ulnar nerve of the forearm and upper arm is traumatized, compressed, or when a tumor occurs, it can cause numbness in the little finger and ring finger on the same side and some finger movement disorders It is more susceptible to injury or compression at the ulnar nerve sulcus at the back of the elbow. Most people recover gradually about six months after injury, but surgery is often needed if there is a tumor, complete rupture, or severe compression**. 3. Median nerve damageThe median nerve of the forearm and upper arm is numb and painful in the palm, thumb, index and middle finger due to trauma, tumor, compression, etc.

The wrist is most susceptible to injury or compression, and is called carpal tunnel syndrome ** Same as above. 4. Radial nerve damageThe radial nerve is more susceptible to damage in the middle and lower part of the outer upper arm, and numbness on the back of the thumb and index finger and drooping of the fingers and wrists appear. **The principle is the same as the previous 5. Lesions or injuries of brachial plexus damage in the axillary or anterior neck can cause mixed symptoms of total or partial damage to the ulnar, median, and flexural nerves.

**Ibid. 6. Cervical spondylosis due to the compression of cervical nerve roots or cervical spinal cord due to cervical hypertrophy or cervical disc degeneration and herniation, which can cause unilateral or bilateral finger numbness, and gradually develop to upper arm, forearm, and even upper limb mobility disorder Recently, someone wrote to describe that the right finger is numb, sometimes the whole arm to the shoulder is numb and painful, and it is difficult to hold a pen and knit a sweater. In line with the case of cervical spondylosis, the letter said that when the hand is drooping, the hand will not be numb or painful if it is not forced.

It means that the right upper limb is not compressed after relaxation, and the lesion is mild. As long as the neck and upper limbs are properly exercised, the numbness in the fingers will gradually be reduced. Exercise gradually, gently at first, then gradually strengthening, and be sure to do it consistently.

But avoid excessive or sudden movements that are too strong. In addition, acupuncture, physiotherapy, vitamin B1, etc., and cervical traction can be performed if necessary**, but it must be carried out under the guidance of a physician. If the middle-aged and elderly people have persistent numbness in the thumb, such as local pressure for too long, after a cold, some are like pinprick, and some feel heavy or unconscious, generally speaking, it will disappear on its own soon If the numbness lasts for too long or the symptoms gradually worsen, when you go to the hospital, you can see that the appearance is normal, and there are no special findings in the examination, and it is often diagnosed as neuritis or peripheral neuritis, etc., and some B vitamins are given orally or injected.

While some people get better, others don't, especially when they reach middle and old age.

Finger numbness is usually related to peripheral neuropathy or cervical spondylosis, you need to look for it**, numbness is common in the following diseases: 1. Stroke aura; 2. Peripheral neuropathy; 3. Nerve damage of upper and lower limbs; 4. Myelopathy; 5. Cervical spondylosis;

It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination, early detection of disease, early **. It is recommended that you usually strengthen exercise, but do not exercise a lot, to promote the dredging of meridians, so that blood circulation is smooth.

Go to the hospital for a check-up and do a brain CT

There are several causes of numbness in the hands:

1. Gout: Clinical studies show that about 1% of patients with hand numbness are caused by gout, which may be caused by uric acid precipitation in the median nerve and compression of the median nerve, resulting in hand numbness and pain.

2. Transient cerebral ischemia: the elderly often have high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia, hypertension can cause vasospasm, high blood lipids can cause arteriosclerosis, and the blood viscosity of the elderly will increase, and the blood flow will be slow during sleep, which will lead to transient cerebral ischemia and hand numbness. Therefore, the elderly should regularly check blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood rheology tests, and if there is hypertension or hyperlipidemia, they should be carried out.

Drink plenty of water and take some medicine to reduce blood viscosity, prevent thrombosis, improve cerebral blood supply, and hand numbness will be eliminated.

3. Cervical spondylosis: cervical spondylosis is a common disease in middle-aged and elderly people, which is caused by the compression of local blood vessels and nerve tissues of the cervical spine due to bone hyperplasia, intervertebral disc degeneration or local joint ligament relaxation. If you have cervical spondylosis, you can make an X-ray of the cervical spine to diagnose it, and the first measures include physiotherapy, traction and the use of drugs to promote blood circulation and remove stasis.

Usually, you can often do some health exercises that move the neck slowly, and pay attention to the height of the pillow when sleeping, generally 7 9 cm high, not too high or too low, soft and hard should also be moderate, and the sleeping posture should be correct, which can avoid the compression of local blood vessels and nerve tissues in the cervical spine and cause numbness.

4. Diabetes: Diabetes can produce a variety of complications, diabetic peripheral neuropathy is one of them, once this complication occurs, there will be symptoms such as numbness and paresthesia in the limbs. If you suffer from diabetes, you should carry out a formal and reasonable **, control your blood sugar to a normal range, and pay attention to supplementing vitamin B1, B6, vitamin C, and you can also use ginkgo biloba preparations, ligustrazine and other drugs to eliminate numbness in your limbs.

5. Peripheral neuritis: If the long-term digestion and absorption function is poor and malnutrition, it will cause vitamin B1 deficiency and peripheral neuritis, and it will also cause numbness in the hands.

6. Brachial nerve compression: If the posture is not correct, the neck is deviated or the arm is compressed, the hand will be numb due to the compression of the brachial nerve.

7. Overdose: The use of certain drug overdoses, such as gentamicin, will cause numbness in the lips and limbs, and attention should be paid to avoid overdose.

You should have ulnar nerve injury or compression in your left hand.

Ulnar nerve deformity.

Both upper limbs are perpendicular to the sides of the body.

Palms forward. This nerve test is distributed along the inside of the upper arm (on the side of the body).

Straight through the little finger.

This nerve innervates sensation and flexion of the inner upper arm.

It is closest to the surface of the human body in the wrist and elbow joints.

That is, it is in this position that it is most susceptible to injury.

It is also located in the joint, which is susceptible to compression by bone growth (bone spurs).

or joint inflammation.

It is recommended that you take it orally; Gastrodia tablets, if you still have numbness after 3 to 5 days, take a cervical cone to rule out cervical spine problems.

It could be your hand.

The blood does not circulate.

Guidance: In terms of the amount of this condition, it is often caused by neuritis disease or ischemic numbness caused by kidney deficiency, cold and fatigue, and lack of qi and blood. This kind of situation of destroying the blue and the deficiency and burning is recommended to the method of Chinese medicine acupuncture and moxibustion to activate the blood**, and activate the meridians.

Be careful not to get tired and cold.

Problem analysis: Hand numbness is related to peripheral neuropathy or cervical spondylosis, and there may be numbness of the fingers in the same posture for a long time.

Suggestions: If necessary, use some drugs to nourish the nerves, such as Micobao, vitamin B12, etc.**.

Analysis: Hello, your condition may be caused by cervical radiculopathy. A herniated cervical disc or narrowing of the cervical foraminum can compress nerve roots and numb the arm.

Advice: DecompressionYou go to the hospital to check the MRI of the cervical spine, if you are diagnosed with cervical spondylosis, decompression can be conservative first**. Such as traction and oral neck rehabilitation. If it doesn't work after half a year, surgery may be considered**.
