Numb Fingers

So I sprained my right wrist about a month ago, and it got better after two weeks. Now about two weeks ago my middle, ring and pinky fingers started to go numb along with the right side of my palm. The pinky finger is the most numb, my ring finger is a little less numb than my pinky and my middle finger is not as numb as my ring finger. Weird thing is is that it only happens at night around 7pm. I probably have something pinched. Anyone have problems with numbness?

Thank you. I didn't ask for a cure. I just asked if anyone else had a problem with numbness.

It's such a fucking pain in the ass to go see one, and it takes away from skiing time on my days off.

If you can still ski with it, do you really need to fix it??

There you go. But really, it's already been said, why do people ask NS of all places?

I cut my thumb open a few years ago. 13 stitches, down to the bone, slit a tendon in half. It was pretty gnarly to say the least and the scar is all the way down the top of my thumb. To this day, years later, the top of my thumb is still completely numb. If it gets hit too hard like I bump it on something my whole hand will go numb. It's due to nerve damage when I cut it open. You could be having some nerve damage, but you said it was only sprained? Not sure if you could get nerve damage from that but it might be something to look in to.

ive had a nerve problem in my thumb before. i broke my humerus(upper arm) pretty badly a few years ago and the bone damaged the radial nerve badly so i was numb in my thumb and part of my index finger. it never got 100% better until about 4 or 5 months later with very little therapy. i think youre probably sort of in the same situation.

Ya I should say that when I cut open my thumb the doctor told me that I might need PT for the thumb but they couldn't do anything for the nerves. They might grow back or they might not. If they do it will take a couple months to maybe a year or two for full recovery. It never happened for me, but if you do have nerve damage it could take a very long time to recover.

yea i was actually sort of lying before wen i said it took 4 to 5 months to fully recover. after about 3 or 4 months i was able to move my thumb normally, but i never got all complete feeling back in it until a little over a year after.
