finger numbness

Numb hand extremities

Finger numbness is the loss or reduction of sensation in one or more fingers—a tingling, pins-and-needles feeling, or complete absence of touch perception.

Common causes include nerve compression (carpal tunnel syndrome), poor circulation, or prolonged pressure: I woke up with finger numbness from sleeping on my arm.

The phrase appears frequently in medical contexts describing symptoms.
