What Causes Numbness And Tingling In Thumb?
I spent time in the forest last night spotting animals. On the way home in the car I noticed that my left thumb felt as if it had a papercut and presumed I d cut it on sharp grass as I bush-bashed. It is numb and tingling today and there is no sign of a cut or a bite.What could be the cause?

hi
thanks for writing to HCM
since you don't have any cut/injury mark and it's not painful and swollen,the injury to digital nerve can be ruled out.
is this happened for the first time?do you have thyroid problem?we have a nerve in the wrist called median nerve,may be it got compressed with your excessive physical work.so,if it for the first time then relax have vitamin B12 tab, you will get over it.
take care
wish you good health
