Suggest Remedy For Numbness And Tingling On Hands
Hi I am a 53 year old female who has had some odd symptoms for about 6 weeks now, I initially had a numb left middle finger (more numb on the left side) now I have tingling in both hands going up to my wrists .Not there all the time .I have had issues with my back and have been treated with cluneal nerve injections, steroids etc. into my sacro iliac joints. I don t put strain on my hands/fingers etc. If I bang or use that finger it s like an electric shock. Any ideas ??? no problems with my legs/feet etc this is all my fingers/hands/wrists
