NUMB FINGER

[curiousguy911]

Well im a 17 year old male thats in relatively healthy shape.

So my story:
I woke up last friday (yesterday) with a numb left index finger. The back side
is partially numb and feels tingly at the touch. I can move it normally but
I can't feel the backside normally. The thing is, I would usually
rest my head on my hands during sleep which would occasionally make it
my whole hand numb, but it would eventually get better within a few minutes. However, in this case
it's only the back side of my LEFT index finger that's numb. I never had this kind
before.  I don't know what's the cause of it, i mean i exercised the day before (pushups...) but
i usually exercise and it never happened before. I'm very sure
I don't have carpel tunnel syndrome (on cpu very little) and i don't see bite marks.
I can't see the doctor 'till monday (or the neurologist for that matter), and i think it might be spreading
(maybe im over exaggerating the spreading, but it's it's VERY SLOWLY creeping
down my hands). Any help would be appreciated thanks

Definitely go to a neurosurgeon.  This happened to my son and I thought it was a pinched nerve and would go away.  He ended up having emergency brain surgery due to a "cavernous malformation" at the base of his brain stem.  Hopefully yours has already been resolved and wasn't anything as traumatic as this.

See a neurosurgeon, who may ask you to have a brain scan, MRI.  This happened to me, I did get the MRI and all was easily explained by the attending neurosurgeon, to my great relief.  His prescription to me was 1/4 aspirin every day.  That's it, and the problem never recurred.
