Numb and stiff fingers
For the past 2 weeks the last 2 fingers starting from ring finger have been numb and stiff, there is both pain and tingling in the area when i try to move them. There is no sign of any physical injury, also dont see any visible signs of blood circulation problem. There was an incident where my left arm was squeezed to an extent when it was stuck trying to take out something from store room, there was no visible injury and pain there after that. The numbness and stiffness started the same night. I was also taking multi vitamins for a month due to hairfall as prescribed by my dermatologist. Any consultation on this will help, will it go away by itself or do i have to visit a doctor(general or physiotherapist).
Thanks.
