Why has my finger gone numb?

Sounds like a very localized peripheral neuropathy, possibly relating to overuse (as you suspect).

@shilolo Thanks! Makes sense.

I suspect, from the location, that my wedding ring was digging into that finger (and then being vibrated against the nerve for a few hours). I’ll leave my wedding ring off and take it easy the next 24 hours and see if it gets better.

@shilolo Yup. I agree.

The tip of my left index finger got numb recently….not totally, but enough for it to feel annoying. I had done nothing that I knew of to cause it. I have used a chiropractor for years, so I went to her. She adjusted my neck and the finger was fine immediately. Pinched nerve in my neck.

@grumpyfish tip of my pinky finger is numb…just the tip! Been that way for a couple of weeks now. Maybe @shilolo has the answer. But, having said that, I’ve a bad neck…could be that.

Do you have any back problems or neck problems @grumpyfish ?

@BoBo1946 No back or neck problems, although my back muscles are a bit sore from the work this morning. If it keeps up I may try @plethora ‘s suggestion

@grumpyfish well, @plethora may have something for all of us…...might visit my “neck cracker!”
