Suggest Remedy For Numbness On Hands

Hi. I am 59 years old, six foot tall, and weigh about 180 pounds. It looks like the vein that supplies blood to both the little finger and the ring finger of the left hand, that part right where the vein appers to fork into two veins, one for each finger I suppose, has bulged quite noticeably, and looks squeezed, so there are actually two bulges. Both fingers and that side of the hand has become numb. Does anyone know what is happening and what I should do about it?

Hi,

If bulging produces continuous numbness then few options are available. Compression stockings, elevation, other medical options are sclerotherapy and ligation and striping. Don't smoke and no alcohol plus if extra weight and wear loose clothes especially around your wrist. I will suggest BP checked and USG for this too.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
