[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 129780, member: 1024"] Which fingers? It sounds like it could be carpal tunnel syndrome. There are other various causes, such as a vitamin B12 deficiency that could cause tingling, however CTS is one of the more common causes. Take a look at the fat pads on your hands...compare the two hands. Is one atrophied? Which one? Also, here is a link for Tinel's and Phalen's maneuvers. These are the two preliminary tests for determining CTS. If one or both are positive, you should see your physician and have an EMG/nerve conduction study done to confirm.
