Tingling, numbness in fingers? (diabetic, arm, doctor, overweight)

[dreamofmonterey]

Does anyone have this? My BP is normal, the dr. says, but I am wondering what causes this. Thanks for any thoughts.

I had this a few weeks back. I went to the chiropractor and got adjusted and it hasn't come back. It is good you are checking with an MD however for any serious issues.

Nerve inflammation
Diabetes
Poor circulation

Could be a lot of things.

I'd be going back to the doctor. Good luck.

does it change with weather or is it all the time? Do you also get it in your toes?

No, just hands. I am not diabetic or overweight to the above poster. SMAC test normal, no chemistries off. The weather doesn't seem to matter. Thanks for asking, it is sporadic, not every day.

look into reynaud's syndrome/disease.. maybe possibility?

Nerve inflamation or damage.

[philosophy81]

nerve damage and inflamation can also be signs of reynauds....

I had a broken arm once- the radial nerve was damaged- this was a long time ago though.....

You can actually goole a picture of 'dermatome dan' and it shows exactly what nerve is responsible for every part of your body...so you can look at what nerves effect your area of numbness and see if is your Radial nerve.
