    Re: numb fingers

    Hello Netty,
    I hope you are a Physiotherapist, i thought you are a patient, really sorry for that.

    why dont you ask the patien to get a radiograph (Wikipedia reference-linkMRI)?
    you may get a clue for the cause.

    Hello Netty,
    According to Osullivan 4th edition, (musculoskeletal assessment)
    "The symptoms that donot vary with a change of activity or body position are rarely due to musculo skeletal lesion, and in fact are a "red flag" for more serious conditions such as space occupying tumors and pathologies involving internal organs."
