Several weeks ago I had back surgery and when I woke up my ring fingers, small fingers, and part of my palms right behind those fingers are numb. I am waiting for Blue Cross to approve a nerve study. This is very frustrating. I have great difficulty tying my shoes or holding eating utensils. I am starting to get suffer a lot of depression because of this.. I would gladly go back to all the back and leg to have my hands back. I don't know what to do. James Hainen
