What Causes Tingling Sensation In Fingers Post Trauma?

My daughter injured her wrist yesterday in softball. X-ray didn t show a fracture, but after the radiologist read it, they said it was questionable and may be her Scaphoid bone. She is having more discomfort tonight and her fingers are tingling. Is this something that can wait until tomorrow to be rechecked by a doctor or should i bring her back to the ER tonight?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tingling sensation in fingers post trauma . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like peripheral neuropathy , carpal tunnel syndrome , low blood sugar , anxiety disorder , multiple sclerosis , vitamin B12 deficiency or cervical spondylosis , But in your case the symptoms are probably due to trauma to nerve or nerve injury. I would suggest you to apply warm compresses to hands , sleep in right position , do light exercises like yoga and stretching exercises under expert and eat healthy . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor will take history and order certain test like CT scan or MRI Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , nerve supplement along with anti inflammatory . Doctor may also refer you to neurologist for nerve injury .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
