Really do need more info here.

Numb where exactly? Since when? Any reason?

When you say pointy finger do you mean index? Is it only this finger?

[johnnywgk]

Just a numb feeling in my left hand and can't straight èn my index finger

[Sheets Tabuer]

I've googled it and I'm sorry it's Aids.

My advice would be to go see a trained professional and not ask fat blokes on the internet.

My initial thought was, have a wk, it'll feel like someone else is doing it. After that get cleaned up and go and see a professional could be serious.

Dial 111 and talk through your symptoms..

Have you had any flu like symptoms of a mild dose of the trots in the last few weeks?

Are there any other weird feelings in your other hand, arms, feet or legs?

He could be having a stroke..

OP, are you able to touch your prostate with that finger?

Any news?

Went a&e had loads of tests, mini stroke. Got to go back for more test. Cheers for the serious and funny replies

I'm no expert so didn't comment but a stroke did come to mind. A friend had quite a severe stroke and still suffers speech probs. Take care and heed any warnings and instructions from the medi people.

TIA... Sorry to hear that, but at least you've caught it early.

Any lasting symptoms?

[anonymous-user]

Glad you went for proper help

Look after yourself

[johnnywgk]

Thanks guys.

Any lasting symptoms? No, thankfully.

Got to take aspirin til I go back for more tests.

Glad you got yourself seen to, and you're being treated.

Sorry to hear this fella. Been there myself but I ended up with partial loss of vision. DVLA took my licence away and it took 20 months to get it back. You should not drive for at least three months (the docs will have told you this) and you will need to make sure that your doctor signs you as fit to drive once the three months period (or whatever the docs say) is up. I hope you enjoy taking pills! You will also need to remember to tell your travel insurers that you are taking medication for stroke related issues.
