Thank you for asking
Hand and finger numbness commonest cause in your gae group is age relatd articular degeneration. With advancing age, the joints and their smoothness is lost due to degenerative changes and erosions of the joint surfaces. Thsi is called age related articular degeneration. Osteoarthritis is the main cause in your age. Other possibilities of rheumatoid and senile arthritis may be considered.
You need to meet a rheumatologist and let them have a look at it.
Numbness may be due to neurodegeneration secondary to nutritional neuropathies like vitamin b12 deficiency or vegan diet or excessive intake of alcohol etc.
Any how it needs a detailed correlation and some labs to sort out the cause to specify the etiology of your case.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
