What Causes Numbness On The Tip Of The Index Finger?
HI I m a 56y/o female. Recently I have noticed that my left index fingertip has been numb and cold. At times it is worse than other times but it has continued to be at least slightly numb and always cold for week now. I have fibromyalgia and didn t know if it could be related to that. Also, I noticed tonight while washing my hair that I have a very sore spot on the top of my head towards the back on the left. I haven t injured myself that I m aware of but, my mother died from a glioblastoma 5 yrs ago. So I m probably being paranoid but I wondered if I should be alarmed.
