The fingers on my right hand have been tingling and numb occasionally...occasionally it will occur in the last 3 fingers, other times in the thumb and first 2 fingers.
I originally put it off to the fall I took last month, thinking I might have broken the fall by putting my arms out, but I wasn't paying attention to how I landed, only that I didn't fall on my DGD.
I am trying to stay off of my iPhone in case playing games has made the nerves in my hand irritated, but I am still experiencing these sensations. It's been going on about 4 weeks now (I fell 6 weeks ago).
I didn't mention it to my neuro on Wednesday when I saw him:roll eyes: another brain fart...

Any ideas as to what could be causing this latest stupid sx?

It is possible you could have pinched a nerve when you fell, or it could be a nerve issue from ms. I've been having major issues with nerves in my left hand following a car accident. When it gets to tingling too much I find applying an ice pack and either using one of my splints or a simple ace wrap for a few hours calms the sensation at least... Too bad it doesn't fix the strength and mobility issue as well.

But pinched nerves can respond to the age old RICE, rest, ice, compress and elevate. Try it for a few days, if no improvement or signs of worsening then heading back to the doctor might be your next best bet.

It's probably a MS post traumatic stress reaction. I know that whenever
I have a fall, even though there is no injury, I may still have a "stress"
flair.

I hope is is just a temp thingy and will vacate the premises soon..

Thanks for all the suggestions/support.

It's frustrating and a bit scary when these things pop up and don't go away...
