one finger or many fingers? do your other fingers tingle? It's possibly a pinched nerve in your back / neck. It can also be the onset of carpal tunnel syndrome as the nerve endings are becoming "entrapped". See a chiropractor if you can - make sure your posture is straight and upright.

That has never happened to me. Nothing serious probably, might dissapear in a couple dayts, but I'd see a doctor just in case. Better safe than sorry!

3 weeks is not good... I don't want to seem over dramatic but you definitely want to avoid stuff like carpal tunnel or this: http://www.musicianshealth.com/CubitalTunnel.htm
From the side of your hand that you're describing the numb sensation, it sounds more like Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. These things can develop either from repetitive activity or even because of another injury ie. damaging your elbow can lead to another complaint. I really would go and see a doctor.. generally in my experience, normal doctors don't know enough about these conditions and they certainly don't understand the mechanics and demands of playing guitar. They might seem a little 'uni-interested' about your guitar needs.. either way, if they don't take it seriously enough and you feel unsatisfied, demand to get referred to a specialist. The doctor shouldn't complain.. it's their job to get you back to health. This post has been edited by Ben Higgins: Mar 18 2011, 11:17 AM |

would advise that you make an appointment with the surgeon doctor, just to check you. Surgeon is a doctor with proper knowledge of your body and can give you better defined diagnose. Remember, this is only an exam. Surgeon exam is about twice the cost of a general practice doc, but that shouldn't be too much. If you have health insurance it's free.
However, state hospitals may put you on hold regarding this matter, and make an appointment in several days, depending when the surgeon is available. In this case, I recommend two things: - Go to some private clinic for an exam (they are not that expensive and the doctor is available instantly for you) - Go to state hospital, but emergency room, and state that you fingers are numb and you require immediate help. These are two ways that you can get your diagnose fast, and I STRONGLY recommend that you use any of them as soon as you read this. Now. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Don't panic, people around here tend to overreact, it is just a numb pinkie finger, probably will be fine if you just give it time, and give it some rest. Not according to Boson! QUOTE Had it for three weeks now Palm of my hand feels swollen , little finger and 3 finger are numb and tingly to touch No idea how or why it has happened but cannot feel the strings so cant play! while I understand the desire to not overreact, I don't think seeing a doctor / specialist for this description is overreacting. cheers -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!
