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.
Stroke: Brain damage caused by a mini stroke or stroke can also cause finger numbness. Such numbness is often felt on one side of the body, especially in the arms, hands, and fingers. Apart from numbness, a stroke can cause symptoms, like dizziness, sudden headache, vision problems, difficulty in walking, weakness, etc. Nerve Tumor: Tumors on the nerves in the neck, arms or wrists may also cause numbness and tingling sensation in the fingers.
