Numbness (and tingling) of the fingers and/or hands typically is a result of conditions that affect the nerves and/or blood vessels that supply the hand. These symptoms are referred to as paresthesia of the fingers. Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves of the extremities that often results in numbness or tingling. Longstanding or uncontrolled diabetes is one of the major causes of peripheral neuropathy. A number of conditions are associated with numbness, burning, pain, or tingling of the fingers and hand, including stroke, multiple sclerosis, Raynaud's disease, vitamin deficiencies, vascular diseases, injury to the hand or repetitive movements, and arthritis.
