What Does Numbness In The Fingers Indicate?
I just had a coccyx injury thus march 22 in the afternoon and at the next day when I woke up, I felt my fingers numbing both left and right but the left fingers is what I am so much concerned than to my right fingers. And today, I am experiencing it again but with pain on my left fingers. When I tried to stretch my left fingers and press toward it, it s more painful. And now I am wondering, why I am experiencing it. Please help me with this. Thanks

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The numbness over both sides fingers after coccyx injury indicate nerve root compression. I recommend to undertake an MRI of the lumbar spine as a priority basis for further management guidelines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
