Will there be numbness of hand by excessive uric acid?

Answer 1

It is unlikely that gout will cause numbness in the hands. it is more likely that you are experiencing what is known as carpel tunnel syndrome. This effects the fingers and hand on thumb side of the hand, up to and including half the ring finger lengthwise. the reason for this is that pressure is exerted on the nerves controlling this area in the carpel tunnel at the top inside of the hand. If the numbness is on the pinky side including the other half of the ring finger and up the hand, then the problem may lay in the ulnar nerve which can be compressed in the wrist, elbow, shoulder or neck. These problems can be treated and it is important that it is as permanent damage can result to the nerves concerned resulting in wastage and atrophy to the muscles in the hand.
