pinky finger tingling?

[bettie1976]

For the last two days my left pink has been numb and tingling...Im 18 days sober...I looked up what could be causing that but dunno. Anyone had the same experience? And did you ever find out why?

I definitely do not want anymore surgeries. Just another excuse to take pain meds. I see no more surgeries in my future but my crystal ball isnt always so crystal clear either..

if it is carpel tunnel use surgery as LAST resort... alot of people who had the surgery (for sever cases like mine) wish they never had it done, they wish they stuck to the braces...i wore my braces 24/7 for the first 2 weeks, now just at night. and not every night now either, my job was doing it to me...and right now i am on medical leave....so it has been ALOT better.

yes i get it also but usually its all of my fingers on both hands...i have carpel tunnel, and having my pinky go numb is what started it..it actually felt like my pinky but it really wasnt,  with carpel tunnel they told me that it would effect all of my fingers BUT the pinky...so evalute what you do with your fingers/hand that might be doing this to you...could be carpel tunnel,,, i sleep with wrist braces on both hands and wrists and it just about cured it for me...
