Yesterday, a friend consulted. He sometimes sleeps at night, but his little finger is numb. Sometimes both sides of the little finger are numb, and when you wake up, you are numb. For more than half a year, he asked me how to solve it.

Numbness of fingers is an indescribable discomfort, which is also incomprehensible to family members.

And as long as the cause and location are not found correctly, this numbness will basically not improve, and it will get heavier and heavier.

In April this year, there was a female patient in Hengyang. Her hand numbness lasted for more than 20 years. For this reason, she went to major hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai, and none of them got better.

Because it was really too long, I gave her an evaluation, gave her a treatment, and treated her in my way when I got back.

It should be 1 week, and her hand numbness has been reduced by half. Because it takes too long, she can only recover slowly, or she may not fully recover.

Therefore, if you don't want your numbness to last so long and suffer for decades, you should treat it correctly as soon as possible.

No, I spent hundreds of thousands looking for a doctor everywhere, but it didn't work, and it was a waste of time.

1, elbow nerve is compressed

The reason is that the little finger is numb. The most common reason is that there is a small tube inside the elbow joint, through which the nerve passes.

This place is the easiest place to squeeze nerves, which is called cubital tunnel syndrome in medicine. Most little fingers are numb for this reason.

2, cervical nerve root compression

Needless to say, your intervertebral disc compresses nerve roots, and 95% people say it compresses nerves.

In fact, the compression of cervical nerve root accounts for less than 20% of the little finger numbness, accounting for a small part, and most of them are misdiagnosed.

You probably misdiagnosed this type, so your treatment has no effect.

3. Sympathetic nerve problems

At night, hand numbness is aggravated. You should consider that your sympathetic nerve has problems, and the sympathetic nerve cannot supply blood correctly.

Muscular nerves can't get blood supply and will be numb, so hand numbness and sympathetic nerves must be treated at night.

The friend you shared with me today is from Jiangxi. In recent 1 year, both hands are numb, mainly in the little finger and ring finger. He is an ordinary office worker.

At first, he always thought it was a cervical vertebra problem, so he did a lot of cervical vertebra treatment, such as acupuncture, small needle knife, intermediate frequency, shock wave and so on.

But the effect was not obvious, and later he went to bonesetting. Although he has been treating, it has never worked.

By chance, I saw Dr. Li's article on the Internet, added me, and came to consult. At that time, the preliminary assessment showed that the problem was not the cervical vertebra.

Because of the magnetic vibration of his cervical vertebra, the compression of cervical nerve root is not obvious. Later, I sent him directly for a neurological examination.

The result is as I predicted, mainly considering the elbow joint. I recommended the location and method of treatment, and he followed the steps. In less than seven days, his hands were not so numb.

What he didn't expect was that he always thought that the cervical vertebra was compressing nerves. In the end, it was actually a wrong diagnosis. The problem was not found and he was being treated indiscriminately.

I wasted tens of thousands of dollars, and I worked hard. Finally, I haven't seen good results yet. Now he can hardly get numb with his mobile phone. In the past, I used to play with my mobile phone for half an hour, and I was very worried that my hand numbness would get worse.

Step 1, find out.

In view of finger numbness, we must find out clearly, and there are several tests that must be done.

The magnetic vibration of cervical vertebra mainly depends on the degree of compression of your nerve root, whether to rule out this reason.

Secondly, the oblique X-ray film of the cervical vertebra or the CT three-dimensional reconstruction of the cervical vertebra can show whether the intervertebral foramen of your cervical vertebra has squeezed the nerve.

It is that the nerve root outlet does not squeeze the nerve, so obviously your treatment will be effective.

Finally, the upper limb electromyography, usually in rehabilitation or neurology, can be checked to find out where the reason for your numbness is.

Don't look at these tests, but it is precisely these tests that can basically lock your numbness.

Finding the cause and then treating it is better than your simple blind treatment 100 times.

Step 2, the treatment position is accurate.

When you know the reason for your treatment, the next treatment is very important.

If the cervical vertebra compresses the nerve, or the intervertebral foramen compresses the nerve, traction is the best treatment, but the compression of the spinal cord must be ruled out.

Generally, if there is spinal cord compression at the same time, traction cannot be seen.

In view of nerve compression, local injection of anti-inflammatory painkillers under the guidance of B-ultrasound can be used to enter the nerve root.

If the nerve is squeezed by muscle fascia, such as elbow joint, it is necessary to release the elbow joint locally, either tendon needle or floating needle. If the treatment position is correct, the treatment will be effective.

Avoid nervous postures

No matter what kind of nerve compression you have, there is no doubt that it is a posture problem.

Some are cervical posture problems, some are elbow strain problems. At this time, you need to avoid these wrong postures so as not to aggravate these symptoms.

You can start with the basic training of standing against the wall, and correcting posture is always the first.

Since you have numbness in your hands, it is easy for you to relapse. Only by correcting the wrong posture can we avoid another attack from the source.

Did you correct your posture?
