What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Hands And Fingers?

Hi, Lately I have been getting, numbness and a tingling sensation in my hands and fingers. Particularly the wrists side of my little finger and my ring finger. I have also now just noted that the sides of some of my fingers are starting to turn a sort of yellow. I don t smoke so I know it has nothing to do with that. What could it be? Thanks for any help in advance :)

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Numbness and tingling in hands and fingers indicate that there is some sort of neurological disturbance (impaired conduction of nerve impulse) in the involved nerves. This may result due to compression of the nerve at some level during its course or may also result due to some systemic diseases.

A detailed clinical examination and few investigations like EMG & Nerve conduction studies are needed to establish a correct diagnosis of your problem. I suggest you to consult a Neurophysician and follow the advice.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
