RE: [IP] numb fingers
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is involving the thumb, index and middle finger
numbness/tingling. Also in later stages electric shock feelings up the arm.
These are caused by pressure or damage to the Median nerve that goes through
the Carpal Tunnel located at the wrist/palm area. When tingling occurs on the
other part of the hand ring, pinky it is another nerve called the Ulner. This
has nothing to do with CPS as the Ulnar nerve is where the feelings for the
pinky and ring finger are centered. The Ulner runs through the elbow. If you
have possibly injured the elbow or have some inflamation it may be the cause
of your symptoms.
