The most common causes of hand numbness are as follows:

1. Upper limb nerve entrapment

1) It is numbness and pain in the thumb, index and middle finger, and there is often a history of awakening at night, and the activity can be improved after waking up. In severe cases, it can be accompanied by atrophy of hand muscles, which affects the fine motor skills of the hand, because the median nerve is compressed in the wrist, which is the so-called "carpal tunnel syndrome";

2) It is numbness and pain of the ring and little finger, and there may also be a history of awakening at night, and in severe cases, it is accompanied by muscle atrophy, and the flexion force of the ring and little finger decreases, affecting fine movements. This is because the nerve is entrapped in the elbow, the so-called "cubital tunnel syndrome".

2. Cervical spondylosis:

The most common disease that causes hand numbness is cervical spondylosis, which is one of the most common diseases in middle-aged and elderly people. In addition to numbness and paresthesia in the fingers, cervical spondylosis is accompanied by other symptoms, such as: neck and shoulder muscle soreness, radiating pain in the upper limbs or mobility disorders.

It is not difficult to diagnose cervical spondylosis, as long as an X-ray is taken. In addition, there is a simple way to check for cervical spondylosis, a person holds the head of the affected side, holds the upper limb of the affected side with one hand, abducts it by 90°, and pushes and pulls both hands in the opposite direction at the same time.

3 Stroke: Another common condition that causes numbness in the hands is stroke. If symptoms such as headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, numbness of limbs, and swollen tongue often occur, and patients usually have hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, cerebral arteriosclerosis and other diseases, they should pay more attention and be alert to the occurrence of stroke.

In short, the diagnosis of hand numbness symptoms requires reference to cervical spine radiograph, electromyography and other auxiliary examinations to confirm the diagnosis. If the symptoms are obvious and there is obvious atrophy of the inner muscles of the hand, surgery should be taken in time to prevent the development of the disease, so as not to cause irreversible severe atrophy of the intrinsic muscles of the hand, resulting in serious dysfunction of the hand.
