What Causes Numbness And Stiffness In Hand?
Hello. I have been experiencing numbness and stiffness in my right hand in the mornings. Today my left hand seems to be staring. The joints of my middle right finger are extremely stiff for a while and I cannot move my fingers smoothly - they seem to pop when I open and close my hand. I am only 25.

Hi,
As this may be nerve root entrapment in the cervical spine it needs an assistance of the MRI to look for. because any injury to the nerve root will affect the distal joint of the upper limbs.
Use the cervical collar, do hot water fermentation for neck and static neck exercises for stabilizing the cervical spine. Most cases responds well to conservative management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
