Had Heart Attack. Have Numbness In Finger And Side Of Hand. Taking Gabipentin. Right Medication?
after having a heart attack 3 years ago, while I was in the ICU, the nurses had to tie "boxing gloves" on my hands because I was combative. 3 months after getting out, I started to notice numbness in the small finger and side of my left hand. To this day it is still there. sometimes fingers will lock-up. taking Gabipentin but does little for the pain.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The symptoms that you are having are likely to be related to benign causes like electrolyte imbalance, vitamin B 12 deficiency, etc. Most of the times these symptoms can be taken care of by taking electrolyte rich fluids and Methylcobalamin supplements. To have better relief, drugs like gabapentin are helpful.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
