What Causes Numbness In The Ring Finger And Wrist?

Left hand ring finger is numb. Numbness is on back of hand to wrist. There is pain and when a fist is made ring finger will not straighten out. What could be possible causes of this? I have not been bitten by anything and there is no swelling but I feel a throbbing in my ring finger.

Hi,

It could be due to neuropathic cause. You can consult a neurologist and get evaluated. You might require a nerve conduction study for further assessment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
