The tip and side of my index finger has been numb for about 10 hours????

Question

this morning i woke up and my index finger just felt really weird/numb. so i figured i slept on it wrong or something. it's now 10 hours later and it's still numb. the tip of it close to the nail, and down the right side to the first knuckle (not all 3 knuckles, just the last one before ur nail). the pad (like the finger print part) feels fine, so does the other side. i didn't jam it or hurt it in any way, so whats wrong?

Answer 1

It sounds like you did sleep on your arm or hand in a funny way and that the nerve (probably radial nerve) was compressed. It will go away within the next 24 hours. If you start to have worsening pain or the numbness begins to spread out, you should see a doctor, but he or she will probably tell you to wait it out. Hope your finger feels better soon.

Answer 2

u might have a pinched nerve - go see a doctor
