Numbness in fingers is often the side effect of an injury, but some medical conditions, such as arthritis and radiculopathy, can also contribute to this side effect. It can be difficult to narrow down what is causing numbness in the fingers, as this can be the result of several different conditions. Damage to the circulatory system, nerves or muscles throughout the arm can cause the fingers to become numb or develop a tingling sensation.
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.
