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 is an abnormal condition in which you feel a loss of sensation or tingling in your fingers. For instance, you may feel your fingers going numb after holding your arm in the same position for a long period of time. Finger numbness usually arises from a lack of blood supply to an area or damage to a nerve or nerves that supply the hand, such as in carpal tunnel syndrome or a cervical disk problem.
