Are sensations there all the time , do they change at night or with arm position/work?

If rash will appear in the next days/week, then it can be Herpes zoster (shingles).

If no rash, pinched nerve in the cervical spine is possible. If symptoms will appear on the other parts of the body, you should consider a neurological disease arising from the spinal cord or brain.

If you check the image on the start of the article above, you can see that Median nerve (red areas) is innervating the back side of the tips of the fingers and the palmar side of the hands. Median nerve is typically affected in carpal tunnel syndrome, so it’s likely that the cause of numbness in your case is an overuse of the wrists.

I type constantly, 47 years old Female. I just find it odd that it has settled in my finger tip.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

you should consider visit a neurologist (here is a http://www.healthhype.com/patients-personal-and-family-medical-history-questionnaire-form.html rel=”nofollow”> medical history form> to help you prepare) and discuss about investigation of your upper spine (CT or MRI) from where your arm symptoms possibly arise. Having a thin pillow or sleeping on a hard matress can sometimes prevent inappropriate bending of the spine and resulting arm symptoms. The original problem can be in the vertebra, discs, spinal cord…or in the arm…but I guess you would need some imaging investigation.

Do you feel this burning pain along the entire finger lenght, or maybe only on fingertios? Are all ten fingers, including the 5th (pinky) finger? Is the pain constant or it comes as an attack? Is it triggered by cold, like you want to take something from refrigerator? Any rash or redness or swollen finger joints? Does pain worsens or lessens through the day? Have you been ever diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis?
