When symptoms of numbness and pain in the fingers are present, there are differences in the spectrum of disease in different populations.
With the current changes in the nature of people’s work and lifestyle habits, the occurrence of cervical spondylosis and cervical disc herniation has a tendency to become younger and more popular. In addition to causing numbness and pain in the fingers, symptoms such as pain in the neck and shoulders, unfavourable movement of the limbs and a feeling of stepping on cotton when walking may co-exist. In addition, the presence of carpal tunnel syndrome should be considered if the patient has been engaged in long-term clerical work or domestic work and has been overworking the wrist for a long time.
For patients with other systemic diseases, it is important to consider whether the numbness and pain in the fingers are complications or coexisting symptoms of related systemic diseases, such as diabetes and autoimmune diseases.
