There is an unsensation felt in my little and ring fingers of right hand. This symptoms arises from yesterday 8th May morning only.
I have nt strike my hand or forearm anywhere. Suddenly the above things happening from yesterday.
Due to current situation of lockdown, I am doing work from home and using laptop. Using laptop mouse may cause this due to rigorous usage of other two fingers. This is my understanding only.
Please suggest what it is? Its causes and treatment?

Hi
Numbness in the ring and little finger may be due to pressure of nerve either in the neck because of prolonged head down or flexed head posture or around elbow because of elbow bent for long time either at sleep or whilst work...
Do you have any neck pain or radiating pain in the arm
Next Steps
You can consult me through Practo chat/call for more history/assessment/advice
Health Tips
Consult specialist sooner
Maintain work ergonomics
Maintain neck posture
Don’t keep elbow bend/flexed too long whilst using system.. take frequent break
It is basically a neuropathic pain ...which can be due to lot of factors and the common being a cubital tunnel syndrome or cervical disc bulge pressing on the nerve. Ruling out any diabetic history is important.
Next Steps
Should start with a course of pregabalin 75 mg plus trytomer10 mg (nurodens is one such medicine with this combination)should be taken at night for a period of atleast a month
and methycobalamine 1000 ug i.m injections (course of atleast 10 injections on alternate days to start with)
I dont rely much on pain killers for my patients but just in case if there is pain associated should start with zerodol mr (sos)
*just in case the symptoms don’t resolve kindly consult nearby orthopaedic surgeon to examine you and make a differential accordingly
Health Tips
Kindly do cervical exercises after a span of 45 mins on computer or table work
