Numbness in fingers is often the side effect of an injury, but some medical conditions, such as arthritis and radiculopathy, can also contribute to this side effect. It can be difficult to narrow down what is causing numbness in the fingers, as this can be the result of several different conditions. Damage to the circulatory system, nerves or muscles throughout the arm can cause the fingers to become numb or develop a tingling sensation.
Numbness can cause tingling and a prickling feeling, as if someone is lightly touching your fingers with a needle. Sometimes, the sensation can feel slightly burning. In addition, finger numbness may affect your ability to pick things up. You may feel clumsy and as if youâve lost strength in your hands.
