Suggest Treatment For Loss Of Blood Circulation And Numbness In The Finger

I had a weird experience today and don't know whether to be concerned. While at work, 3 of my fingers went numb and lost circulation ~ they were totally white. I rubbed and rubbed and two of them came back slowly ~ first purple, then normal. The third one took several minutes but eventually also came back. I've always had cold hands and feet but never anything like this.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
hi,
the symptoms you explain could be due to carpal tunnel syndrome or a vascular phenomenon known as Renaulds . I would advise you a NCV study of the upper limb along with CT angiography of the same limb to see if your neural and vascular systems are ok or there is some compression and this was the warning sign of that compression.
I find this answer helpful
