What Causes Tingling Sensation And Numbness In The Fingers?

Posted on Tue, 19 Sep 2017

Question: Ok, Doctors. I started a new drug for incontinence two months ago. The drug is Myrbetriq. Am 55+ aged women in good health; no other issues or drugs taken so think this probably related to new drug.
There is no indication that the intermittent tingling sensation in fingers and numbing in my hands is a symptom of using this drug. The sensation is not pinpointed to a specific time of day, sitting or standing, or exercise. It just happens! Thoughts?
