I read your question and i understand your concern. This numbnes sin fingers at age of 80 could be due to many reasons. it could be age related neuropathy, a pinched nerve or some metabolic disorder underneath. It needs some work up to find the underlying cause and supportive treatment with iron folates and B12 supplements and neuropathic pain killers like gabapentin and some duloxetine which helps alot with peripheral numbness in this age. Consult your doctor and let them run soem tests to find out the possible cause.
