Tingling Fingers

Do You Suffer from Tingling Fingers?

Tingling Fingers keep you awake at night? Sometimes it is so painful you have to stop working.

Tingly Fingers can be a symptom of some simple injury, a compressed nerve or a more serious medical condition.

Why do my Fingers Tingle?

Tingly fingers are very common and caused by such a variety of situations, conditions, and underlying ailments.

Here is a list of some very common causes:

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Pinched nerve in your wrist, elbow, shoulder or neck
• Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) deficiency
• Peripheral Neuropathy (fingers & toes)
• Raynaud's Syndrome
• Repetitive Stress Syndrome
• Lupus
• Osteoarthritis

There are a lot of reasons why some or all of your fingers, in either one or both hands, may be tingling. In most cases, there is some nerve damage, usually a compressed nerve in the wrist area.

Pins and Needles in my Fingers!

Fingers that tingle with pins and needle sensation can affect your ability to do your job. In this day and age, you don't want to lose days off work. Work activities that require the ability to feel your fingers could be: cooking, sewing, typing, drafting, medical surgery, nursing, driving, gardening, painting, construction and just about any job that requires the use of your hands.

Let's say you have to do a lot of data entry, but the tingly "pins and needles" sensation in your fingers is making it very difficult to type and use the keyboard correctly. This could require time off and maybe even get laid off.

If you are a dental surgeon, it is pretty important that your fingers have the ability to "feel". Your customer won't want you making mistakes!
