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.
Sometimes all you want to know is if something is serious or not. Experiencing any numbness or tingling in the hands can be worrisome for sure. Many people assume that these symptoms are caused by carpal tunnel syndrome but if youâre experiencing numbness in your pinky finger and half your ring finger it could be cubital tunnel syndrome. While we always suggest you seek medical care at the onset of any new symptoms, sometimes you just need to know how much to worry.
