Why is my ring finger, but NOT my pinky, numb near the tip?!


Question: Why is my ring finger, but NOT my pinky, numb near the tip?
I know the ulnar nerve, when pinched, numbs both of those fingers, but the only thing numb is the outermost digit of my ring finger (and I had a diskectomy when that nerve was pinched for the other side, so it's doubtful C7-T1 is pinching this one now).

I was doing stuff around the house and carrying heavy, unwieldy bunches of things that might have pinched it, but I don't remember that happening...

It's been this way for maybe 24 hours. Any ideas? Thanks.

I recommend you see a neurologist medical specialist for your condition and have them perform a diagnostic test (EMG/NCS). That way, you can find out the nature & extent of the problem and a treatment plan can be formed.

Good luck.
