ATOT doctors .....Tip of pinky has been semi-numb for a month ...

[BabaBooey]

Kinda starting to concern me,it is just the tip ( top knuckle to tip ) of my left pinky and not a full on numb but maybe 50% - 60% numbness ....

No color change or pain either and no it has not been up anyones ass ( it would have been asked,I've been around here long enough to know this.... )

It's probably lupus.

my brother had numbness which started in his fingers & hands, and gradually grew worse. then he began having seizures. after a particularly bad seizure, he had a cat scan and the doctors found a large mass in his brain. he didn't survive the surgery to remove it.

if you're seriously concerned, see a doctor because these things can get crazy in a hurry.

I started typing out something about carpal tunnel sydrome but remembered that has to do with the thumb index and middle finger. I'd have a doctor check your arm out.

Speaking from personal experience: Numbness or tingling in the fingers can be caused by irritation or compression of the nerves. (In my case, a neck injury from a dirt bike crash).

Understand that lack of stimulation from your nerves can cause muscles to atrophy.

You really should go see a Doctor - and be aware you will likely have to see a specialist.

Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure...

You probably slept on it or stretched the nerve in a way you forgot - gets better in a week or two. If not THEN see a doctor.

pull it out of your butthole

My little finger and ring finger are tingling right now, like they want to fall asleep. I get that occasionally while typing on the computer. Lasts a while then goes away.

Hopefully it's just diabetus & not teh cancer.

It certainly sounds like a nerve impingement. Could be in the neck or several places in the arm. A neurologist could check with a nerve conduction study. Have it checked out.

pull it out of your butthole

But then it will get cold...

Problem in neck wouldn't isolate itself to the pinky. Pliablemoose is right.

 

[Cyco]

Amputate it!

I have had to write a ton in the past and aside from the numbness, my hand would pull into a claw-like position, there's a surgery for it if it doesn't go away. Ulnar nerve transposition...

by "pinky" do you mean penis?
