Causes of Numbness in Fingers. Carpal tunnel syndrome: damage to the nerves in the arm can cause the fingers to become numb or experience a tingling sensation. A common cause of this nerve damage is carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition that causes a nerve to become pinched between the ulna and radius in the arm.
Finger numbness can significantly affect your ability to perform daily tasks. Normal sensation allows you to type without looking at your fingers, and prevents you from burning yourself or touching a sharp object. Although finger numbness is typically caused by nerve compression, it may be associated with an underlying medical condition. Numbness specifically in the pinkie points to involvement of particular nerves in specific locations. See your doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment for your pinkie finger numbness.
