Ring finger and pinky finger numbness while sleeping

Nowadays, changes in the way we work mean that our fingers are faced with a lot of work every day. Therefore, many people experience numbness in their ring fingers and little fingers when they sleep. In fact, this situation is related to the workload of the fingers, but it is more likely caused by cervical spondylosis or compression of the ulnar nerve in the elbow. Generally speaking, when encountering this kind of situation, we should change some living habits in time.

Reduce desk work, and be careful not to use a pillow that is too high; it is best to use a softer one. ,

Once the symptoms of hand numbness appear, as long as the diagnosis and treatment are timely, there will be different degrees of improvement. In short, the diagnosis of hand numbness symptoms also requires reference to cervical spine films, electromyography and other auxiliary examinations to confirm the diagnosis

There are many reasons for finger numbness, such as upper limb nerve compression: numbness and pain in the thumb, index and middle fingers, often with a history of waking up from numbness at night, which improves after waking up and moving around.

Numbness in hands and feet can also be caused by insufficient Qi and blood, that is, blood deficiency. Because the Yang Qi is weak, blood deficiency occurs, and the Yang Qi is unable to circulate blood, so the blood cannot reach the end of the blood vessels. Hands and feet are the extremities of the human body, so blood deficiency will cause numbness.

Whether in the physical therapy department of a hospital or in some massage shops on the market, you can often hear some people say that their ring fingers and little fingers become numb when they sleep at night. What is the cause of this? Generally, the cause of finger numbness cannot rule out cervical spondylosis. Many young people who often work in front of computers or people who work at a desk for a long time will cause the cervical spine to be affected by a posture for a long time, compressing the surrounding nerves, causing shoulder soreness, and in severe cases, finger numbness will occur.

If older people experience numbness in their fingers, they should undergo a series of related examinations. After all, if there are no problems with the cervical spine, we should consider whether it is hypertension, so the treatment should be based on the examination of the relevant professional hospital.

Therefore, the cause of numbness in the hands is not limited to cervical spondylosis. The root cause of the numbness in the hands should be sought. Perhaps it is gout that causes the numbness in the hands. Clinically, it can be seen that gout causes compression of the median nerve, leading to numbness and pain in the fingers.

Finger numbness can be treated with physical therapy or massage. Generally, cervical nerve compression and radiculopathy are a type of disease that causes hand numbness. Therefore, massage can be used to relax the muscles on both sides of the neck and relieve the compression of the cervical nerves to treat hand numbness.

Note:

In any case, Chinese medicine believes that the cause of numbness in the hands is poor blood circulation, so the blood circulation in the hands needs to be regulated. Therefore, you should move your wrists and arms frequently and increase the amount of exercise to slowly recover.
