Title: Tingling numb finger tip
Post by: mimoore on September 16, 2008, 11:45:08 am: Should I be concerned that my right hand first finger is tingling and numb? Just that finger. I am right handed.
Now I am parnoid about everything. I have been a bit down lately no more movement or tingling (which I like) in my face. I hope Angle is right and it comes in waves.
Hope you are all well today and the sun is shining where you live.
Michelle :D

My personal view is that this tingling in your fingers has no relation to your facial nerves. However, I'm not a doctor or an expert in ANs so my reflexive response is to call your doctor and ask about this.

I'm well and the sun is shining intermittently, thanks. :)

Thanks for your responses I had a hot bath and felt better. I always come to my knowledeable friends with concerns (you all know more than most doctors I have met).
Thanks again, I won't over react again...... hopefully. ::)

It probably is a nerve thing. Could be from a tight muscle in your neck/shoulder area pushing on the nerve or if you're on the computer a lot - could be a nerve thing from your wrist area. The hot bath was a good idea - you might also do some gentle stretching of your neck and shoulders or try an OTC anti-inflammatory and see if that helps.

Maybe those Kindergarteners are causing you a little stress!! :o

Are you taking Topamax or Nuerontin because that is a minor side effect from the drugs?

Of course I thought it was due to the treatment and I was very worried... My husband pointed out that our 18 month old son wanted me to pick him up constantly after I returned home, and I always picked him up on the right side. I switched sides and presto ... problem solved. :)

My family is sleeping and they will think I am going crazy and I can only use the "I had brain surgery" excuse so many times.
Thanks for your support - you guys are the best!

I think the official limit on that is 1 million times, so you should still have a few more. :)
