numb fingers
Cold, tingling extremities
Numb fingers have lost sensation, typically from cold, pressure, or restricted blood flow.
The numbness may be temporary—My fingers went numb holding the ice—or signal a medical condition like carpal tunnel syndrome or poor circulation.
Numb fingers feel clumsy and unresponsive, making fine tasks difficult: I couldn't work the zipper with numb fingers.
