Question : How concerned to be about numb fingers
Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
If the numbness decreases when the swelling decreases on elevating then you need not worry. It will take time to come back to normal.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
