What Causes Tingling Sensation And Numbness On The Hand?
I suddenly developed tingling, pins and needle and some numbness in the last two fingers on my right hand. I have not injured my hand so I am not sure what to think. If I rub my right elbow I can make the fingers tingle. It s so annoying and uncomfortable.
