What Is The Treatment For The Numbness In Fingers And Toes?
I have stiffness and numbness in my fingers. I wake up with intense pain in my fingers. When I move them they will finally feel better after several minutes. When driving a car my hands start to go numb. What could this be? My toes also have shooting pains or bee sting feeling.

Hi,
Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!
May be due to a condition called peripheral neuropathy.
This inturn is due to variety of causes like diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency etc.
However, a Physical examination is mandatory to assess this since there are variety of other causes that needs to be ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query.
