What Causes Stinging Sensation Radiating From The Fingers To Hand Post Cat Scratch?
I had a cat insert a claw into the left side of my left hand. It is one small puncture hole but caused immediate fire feeling through the left side of my hand. Now I have numbness in my pinky and ring finger and if anything touches the pinhole of a puncture it sends a sensation to the two fingers mentioned. If I grab something or ball up my fist I have pain shooting down my hand.

It is probably due to anxiety and does not have any significant causes. However, you can consult a neurologist for reassurance.
