Stinging -tangling fingers

by tony22, Nov 29, 2007 06:22PM
I’m frequently experiencing stinging/ numbness in my fingers, both hands and feet (hands more often). Is this a problem of peripheral circulation or related to neurology?
Also my jaw gets kind of numb sometimes, and I feel something like pressure in my years.  Please advice!!!! Thank you for your time!!!!!

Hi.
The stinging/numbness in your hands and feet could be neuropathy, and it has many etiologies.  It could result from lack of vitamins, disease condition like diabetes, etc.
A problem with peripheral circulation could also cause this symptoms.  Smokers are prone to develop peripheral circulation problem.
It would be best to seek consult with our primary physician for further evaluation and management.
Good luck.

The tingling and numbness sensation experienced by you could be due to various causes. Consult your physician as clinical evaluation with few investigations are required.

Hi,
How are you feeling now?
Any type of tingling, burning, or numbness is usually a symptom related to a sensory nerve being damaged, diseased, or injured. There may be some vascular compromise to peripheral nerve which can cause similar symptoms’.
Alternatively, vitamin deficiency, diabetic neuropathy can also cause similar symptoms’.
You should consult a physician or neuro- consultation.
