Loss of feeling in likkle finger
10 Answers
About three times a day and for about 10 minutes at a time, the feeling goes from the tip of my (left) little finger. The loss of feeling radiates outwards and is fully regained by the base of the finger and half-way across the fourth finger. It can occur at random times, even if I'm lying in bed. I guess the sensation can be likened to pins and needles - there's no pain whatsoever, just a loss of feeling (if I scratch my head with that finger, I can feel myself being scratched, but I can't feel myself doing the scratching). What is it and should I do anything about it?

I think it is due to the constriction of blood vessels which then prevents blood flow to the tips of fingers and feeling is lost. As far as I know it is harmless, but there is a severe version of teh condition called Reynard's Disease.

This has been happening to me except that the "pins and needles has been also in my neck and jaw. I had the good fortune of going to my dentist for a cleaning. I mentioned it to him and within 10 seconds he diagnosed me with TMJ (or clenching of the teeth), which if severe, can absolutely give the pins and needles not only down to the fingers but to the chest, shoulders, neck and jaw as well.
try taking b12 and b complex..you can get it from the health shop get the 500 size in the b12 and take twice a day..its not toxic and no side effects it wont hurt you it helps to repair nerves and you may just have dipped a bit low in b12 as the liver stores it and being low can cause symptoms like that..its worth a try..
