What does it mean if your thumb and forefinger go numb?

Answer 1

If it occurs suddenly, for no reason, it may be a neurological issue which could be caused by anything; an abscessed tooth, HSV/HZV infection, multiple sclerosis, or some other sort of viral or bacterial infection that has spread to the brain. All these could lead to what would actually cause the numbness: compression of a cranial nerve. Now, if your face is numb, and your eye, lip, or so on drooping (loss of facial muscle control) it is likely your Cranial Nerve 7. If it is just numb, and the facial muscle/movements are intact, then it is likely your Cranial Nerve 5.

Answer 2

Numbness in the thumb and forefinger can be due to compression of a nerve in the hand, like carpal tunnel syndrome or cubital tunnel syndrome. It can also be caused by conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, poor circulation, or a pinched nerve in the neck. Consulting a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment is recommended.

Answer 3

This question isn't very specific, as there are many things that can cause numbness in the body. Most likely its the stop of blood flow to that part of the body, generally by external pressure (such as sitting on that part of you're body for too long). Or it could be another more serious issue, but if its a constant numbess it could be nerve damage and you should go and get it checked out by a doctor.

Answer 4

• Often when certain fingers especially the thumb and a forefinger go numb it is generally related to repetative use that your hand is or isn't use to. Example: You may have a certain job you normally don't do at work and are using your thumb and forefinger. Often gardeners will decide to go out and prune shrubs, etc., for an hour or more not realizing that constantly using this movement has caused the thumb and forefinger to go numb from pinched nerves, but it will go away within a day or so. Also people who do crafts and use scissors every so often for a length of time can get a numb thumb or forefinger; knitting, etc. A535 is a good blood circulator not to mention muscle pain; apply and if in a week or 10 days the numbness is still there it would be wise to see your doctor to be sure there is nothing else wrong.
