Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 You might also want you doc to check for carpel tunnel. That is what it felt like for me when my c.t. first started. Just a suggestion. Alice The Loon I had numbness and tingling in my left ring finger and pinky. I had the EEG??? Where they stick in all the needles in your back and arms and run electricity through you..etc...found out I had cubital tunnel syndrome. It was in my elbow instead of my wrist. Guess it depends on which nerves are affected as to which fingers it numbs. Regards~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 I didn't think it was particularly painful...although I've had others describe it as so. I've had several of these...and guess my other pain overshadowed the test. There is a surgery that they can perform to free up the nerve wherever it is impinged.
