Having numbness on tip of fingers
My mother is having numbness on the tip of middle and index finger ( just the tip of them) not sensing with them (the tip) and that is going only in her left arm! I heard that it's something with nerves or so.... also i saw some recommendations which believe that it's due lack of B vitamis especially B1 B12 B6 and it's consuming some nutritional yeast for the B vit! Can anyone assist me just the cause of this case to proceed in direct consulting
Thank you so much!
