What Causes Numbness In Knuckle And Knee?

Hi, a couple weeks ago my index finger was numb feeling around the knuckle, (that numbness you get at the dentist office from a shot) and today i noticed that my knee is numb and a little warm feeling. That same knee was also hurting me a couple days ago as if it needed to pop... I just want to make sure it s nothing serious..

Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got numbness in your index finger and knee. As your history is not complete so it is not possible for me to accurately suspected your disease. But you are developing some kind of neuropathy ,so you need to investigate for causes of neuropathy such as diabetic and thyroid. Mecobalamin will be of some help.You can consult neurosurgeon for it. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
