Ever wake up with numb fingers? You could have classic carpal tunnel syndrome. People who get numb fingers (thumb, index, middle and sometimes ring) likely have an entrapment of their median nerve in the carpal tunnel in their wrist. It’s a tight tunnel that houses 9 flexor tendons and the median nerve, so there isn’t much room. If the median nerve becomes compressed due to swelling, hands in the fetal position during sleep or trauma, it causes numbness in the fingers. If this occurs long-term, it can lead to irreversible nerve damage and weakness.
