What Causes Finger And Toe Numbness?

I am trying to get some possible answers to some symptoms that I have been experiencing. I have numbness from my forearms to my fingers, especially my left. My toes also get numb at times, and tingling in my face. I am also experiencing bouts of depression. I have done cardio and neurology scans and nothing turns up. Just trying to get another opinion.

hi,

first of all thanks for mentioning little part of the history. sometimes depression also leads to unnatural sensation too. if your cardio and neuro advised you that all fine then thumps up. it's not a major issue. sometimes spasm of the muscles leads to compression on the nerves beneath it. so doing some regular exercises for like arm swinging and deep breathing will help. also try to perfrom simple neck exercises and simple straight leg raising for the Strengthening the core muscles. you will feel ease of your symptoms. if pain still persist then you can take an advise from an ortho or a physical therapist.

thank you
