What causes a numb little finger?

In: Conditions and Diseases [Edit categories]

Answer:

Usually a trapped or compressed ulnar nerve.

This can occur at any point from the neck, down the effected arm and is usually caused by incorrect use or over use of the arm/shoulder.

You should see your doctor as the cause may be more serious than this and if the numbness lasts a long time you may have permanent damage.
