Do anyone's fingertips feel numb and tingle?

Does anyone fingertips feel numb and tingling? Only my thumb and first 3 fingers.

  1. yes, the left hand is really bad

    1. Hi Lifestyle17. First, let me say that any new symptom should be reported to your doctor. Numbness and tingling does occur with RA and can have numerous causes. Thought this earlier Q&A conversation on just this topic and the links contained in it might be helpful: https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/q-and-a/tingling-numbness-hands/. Wishing you the best.

      1. I have had both numbness and tingling in my hands. Dr says it could be swelling in the elbow joints impacting the nerves. I hope you’re able to get some good and comforting answers from your doctors.
