    For a while now I've got this kinda numb feeling in my left fingers.
    It's not really numb cause I can feel sth but it feels weird.
    And it's only in my left index- and middlefinger.
    Is this normal?

    Sounds like it could be a pinched nerve... Maybe a good idea to ask your doctor or a physiotherapist about it...

    The same thing happened to my left middle finger about a month ago. It stopped after a week.

    If it lasts for longer than two or three weeks, I recommend what Ditz said about letting a doctor/physiotherapist check it out.

    Carpel tunnel syndrome :slight_smile:
    Lease that's what it sounds like to me caused by excess fluids pressing on the nerves is it worst in the morning ? Tonic water helps :wink: but see a doctor

    Not yet.
    I've got a uhm appointment (Hope this word is right) in about two weeks.
    No chance to get an earlier one.
    But today it was strange. My right little finger felt weird and my left hand not anymore.
    And now the area between left index finger and thumb is very weird.
    But I still can feel all. Weird thing.
    Thanks for your concern:slight_smile:

    OK, I just googled it and I'm kinda worried.
    But it's just a bit of a numb weird feeling. Hard to describe.
    I hope it's not that worse.
    But thanks, anyways!:slight_smile:

    I lost my feeling in half of my forearms, lost the feeling in both of my big-toes after serving in the military. It's better now but still, anybody know why it was like that?

    That started happening to me a couple of years ago. It doesn't happen often but it does creep up. I notice that it tends to happen when my hands are cold and/or if I'm carrying something heavy that puts pressure on my nerves.

    I always just assumed it was poor circulation.
    ***What works for me, EVERYTIME, is to run my hand(s) under HOT water... or as warm as possible. After a few seconds, that weird numbness usually goes away. The first time it happened was after I lifted a table at work. For whatever reason, I decided to stick my hands over a pot of boiling water, and that actually did the trick... the "numbness" went away. ...it was a little freaky though :icon_conf

    That could be possible. I've got a bad circulation I think.
    It's the strongest when my hands are cold. But it's only at my left hand. That's weird.
    Thanks!!!:slight_smile:
