Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since , you are recovering from stroke attack very nicely , that's a good thing.
After effects of stroke are numbness and cold clammy peripheral parts .
In my opinion consult a neurologist and get his opinion .
This will tell you any disease in arteries concerned.
Consult a physiotherapist and his advice will help you.
Good luck.

Hi, the numbness is caused by the poor circulation of blood to the brain supplied nerves to the fingertips.
As it is 4 years passed the drugs used to increase the circulation wont do any purpose.
I to my patients with such symptoms prescribe neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and to continue every week one injection, along with other drugs. Thank you.
