Answer by Dr Bhupinder K, MD (doctor) on Mon 25, May 2009 09:50pm:

Hello, Such numbness in arms and fingers can be due to nerve entrapment or irritation like in Carpal tunnel syndrome,brachial neuritis or pathologies like diabetes,vit B12 deficiency and thyroid disorders.I would suggest you to get your thyroid levels and blood sugar levels checked.Also consult a neurologist and get nerve irritation ruled out. Hope it helps.Take care and regards.
