I have numbness and tingling in the thumb and index finger of my left hand. I do no know if this is related to the peripheral neuropathy in my legs caused by a a fracture of L5 vertebrae slipped over S1 and bulging discs and degenerative disc disease. Just about a year ago I was diagnosed with radial nerve palsy in my right hand caused by a pinched nerve from using crutches for almost a year. I woke up this morning wih numb fingers an my left hand which I have had before but usually goes away after a short time. I aso have a strange crawling feeling of very minor numbness in the left side of my forehead.
