is this carpel tunnel im seriously freaking out!
and the ring finger also feels strange not quite numb

Hit that pinky finger with a hammer and see if you have any feeling in it

Seriously go see a Doc man

Do you have Anxiety problems, cuz it could be that. Will cause mild numbness in your pinky and ring ringers sometimes, I have mild CTS in my right hand, it doesnt go munb, they burn and hurt, no numbness. A way to tell is to take your hand and do this for about 60 sec.




when you release and put your hands straight if it completely feels dead or In sticky pain. then probably yes you have it.. But I am not a DR. that is how they found out I had it,

Good News is that if you catch it really soon you can get a wrist brace..


as you see it keeps your wrist from bending down and pressing on your Carpul tunnel, which could heel it.

Good Luck.

Sometimes I sleep on my arm in a different position, and its numb for 15 minutes after i wake up... just massage it for a bit, that might help (pinched nerver or blood movement)

If that doesn't work... See a doc

Just cut em off dude. You have 8 more fingers to work with. Hey, atleast its not a thumb!

Did you bang it or anything? I seriously slammed my ring finger over the weekend and it was completely numb for a while and its still a little numb now. I'm gonna give it another week before i see the doc.

Take the ring off for a few days. My wedding ring is not tight, but sometimes it numbs my hand and I have to remove it for a few days.

Carpal tunnel usually causes pain more than numbness.

the pinky finger doesnt get numb with carpal tunnel
only the thumb,index middle and ring finger
and as FP said it causes pain also.

Is my post showing up?? LOL

If the fingers aren't blue or discolored in anyway, then you may just have a pinched nerve and the numbness will fade in the next day or so... If they are discolored or cold to the touch, then you'd better get to the e.r., proto... Unless you want to be known as "Stumpy."

Hey I have a stump.......
