What Causes Numbness In The Fingers On The Left Hand?
I am having an occasional problem with the fingers on my left hand. The middle, index and thumb in particular. They will freeze up and I can t move them unless I take my right hand and literally move the fingers on my left hand. This was rare in the past but has now occurred several times in the last week.
