Numbness of the tail finger, i.e. little finger, may be caused by abnormal vascular circulation, cervical spine lesion, endocrine abnormality, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease.
1. Abnormalities in vascular circulation: If the patient’s subclavian artery, brachial artery, ulnar radial artery, etc. have stenosis, occlusion, segmental inflammation and other lesions, it may lead to numbness of the tail finger. It is recommended that the patient go to the peripheral vascular department in time and follow the doctor’s instructions to carry out vascular imaging examination to clarify whether there are problems with the blood supply of both upper limbs.
2. Cervical spine lesion: If the patient has cervical spine lesion, it may lead to cervical disc herniation which presses on the nerve root and causes numbness of the tail finger, and the numbness of the tail finger may be aggravated when twisting the head, lowering the head and other positions. It is recommended that the patient go to the orthopedic department in time to see if there is cervical spine lesion.
