Numbness in left hand fingers

[MOOG144]

Hi

Can anyone give me some advise.

My index finger and middle finger on my left hand have started to go numb, loss of sensation is maybe a better way of describing it.

I do suffer from reynauds but this doesn't seem the same.

It started about 2 weeks ago on the tip of my index finger and seems to be spreading.

I had pins and needles in my whole hand for hours this morning but now settled.

Just dont know whether I should concerned of it's just another side effect.

The only new meds I have started recently are statins...

Any advice gratefully received

A new symptom and especially numbness should be mentioned to your physician but it sounds like carpal tunnel perhaps. A neurological visit would be helpful for diagnosis.

Hi MOOG144,

I experienced the same symptoms nearly 2 years ago and thought I'd just badly banged my elbow (which I did) and this was just a side effect, was sent straight to the neurologist who done some tests and everything came back fine except they found I had a vitamin B12 deficiency. All symptoms went away and after I started feeling unwell about a year ago I found myself back at the hospital where I was told my lupus had relapsed and once my consultant looked at the notes from the hospital and i explained the symptoms again he said I had Antiphosphlipid Syndrome(APS), which was unusual as you normally either get bothered with lupus and APS separately but in my case I had both active at the same time. Hope this helps a little.

It looks like peripheral neuropathy
