When the tips of your fingers feel like their asleep?

Answer 1

There are two main nerves that can be responsible for this condition aside from circulatory problems. The are the ulna nerve which if put under pressure as a result of inflammation or compression between bone can cause tingling and pain in the ring finger along the pinkie side, the pink and the pinkie side of the hand directly over the ring finger and pinkie. (Ulna nerve compression) can lead to degeneration of the muscles in that part of the hand and permanent nerve damage if not seen to as quickly as possible, The rest of the hand and fingers are controlled by a nerve passing through the carpel tunnel in the middle of the top of the hand under the wrist. Inflammation or build up of tissue can put pressure on this nerve (carpel tunnel syndrome) leading to the same situation as the ulna nerve compression and can lead to serious damage if left untreated. both these problems are often related with inflammation or Rheumatoid arthritis and can be treated with either anti inflammatory and/or surgery.
