Numbness in the fingertips and toes.

Numbness in the fingertips and toes often results from abnormalities in the sensory nerves of these areas. This symptom can feel like heaviness in the hands or a tingling sensation, similar to pins and needles. Although it may not seem like a serious condition that significantly affects daily life, if left unobserved or neglected, it can potentially cause harm to the body.

The causes can arise from various factors, including inadequate nutrient intake and risks from different diseases.
1. Deficiency of vitamins B1, B6, and especially B12, which help nourish and repair the nervous system to function properly.
If vitamin B intake is insufficient, it can cause inflammation of the nerves.
2. Sitting or staying in one position for a long time can cause nerve compression.
3. Side effects caused by chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
4. Having certain diseases, such as diabetes, chronic alcoholism, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and others.
5. Jobs that require extensive wrist use over a long period, such as housework, factory work, or typing on a computer.
