Have Numbness And Tingling In Left Hand. How To Overcome This?
My fingers in my left hand have been numb and tingly now for a week with nothing helping it or it getting any better at all. It is not so much my pinky and thumb as it is mainly the three other fingers, with the middle finger being the worse. It is real tight and tingly like when your hand falls asleep feeling but constant, never goes away.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
No need to worry, it will go away soon, this could be due cervical vertebrae disc compression for exact location and the severity it is advisable for x-ray of cervical spine, you will be in need of cervical collar, along with physiotherapy, and it will come around very soon have nice day.

Thanks for query on HCM.
It might be due to continuous pressure on the ulnar nerve at the grove behind elbow.
It usually occurs after improper position during sleeping,sitting,working.
Also go for cervical x-ray to rule out neurological involvement at cervical level.
Start therapeutic dose of b12,folic acid,calcium,mineral and other supplements.
Intra muscular injections of b12,folic acid is advisable.
Take nsaid with muscle relaxant to subside pain.
Avoid any weight lifting.Try to adjust proper posture.
Consult orthopedician for proper guidance and medical management.
