Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have numbness and tingling in my fingers. Also at night when I lie down to sleep it intensifies. Sometimes the finger joints on my left hand actually hurts. My ring finger on my left hand was hurting all the time severl months ago, but no longer hurts or aches like it used to anymore. The tingling is mostly at the fingertips and top pat of my fingers. Years ago I was diagnosed with mild to moderate carpal tunnel on my left arm and I usually sleep with a cuff on my wrist. But, it s not my wrist that s hurting, its just my fingers that are feeling numb and tingly. I retired seven years ago from my job as a social worker, so I no longer work on a computer all day. I work as a substitute teacher during the school year now and this past summer and through August I am working at a daycare caring for babies under one year old. My left arm and hand has been really tingling and hurting when I hold a baby to give them a bottle. Do you have any idea what could be causing this and wht I can do to alleviate the tingling and numbness in my finger joints?
