It is very normal to have tingling in the hands or fingers on occasion. Most of us know exactly what you are referring to since we have experienced it for ourselves. Tingling fingers can be caused by a nerve that is pinched. Pinching a nerve can interrupt the normal nerve function and create pins and needles along the nerve's path.
