What Causes Numbness In Finger?
The second (pointer) finger on my left hand will feel numb and be ice frozen. I went to my Dr and he said it was prob Carole tunnel but somehow that doesn t feel or sound right. I have had neck problems for years. I have tolerated it and may even have disc surgery at some point. Could these two problems be related.

Dear patient
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition in which median nerve compression at wrist leads to numbness in thumb index and middle finger not only index finger. If to u have disc problem then also numbness would be in many fingers and on both hands. So you need to be investigated with nerve conduction studies of left upper limb to come to the diagnosis. Start taking tablet ME 12 1500mcg once a day till report is done. All the best.
