numb fingers


Something new. About 4 days ago, my pinky finger and ring finger on my right hand started going numb. Now the pinky is indeed numb and the half of the ring finger next to it (lengthwise) is also numb. Ons side of a finger, weird, eh?

Seeing the podiatrist this afternoon, maybe he has some knowledge retained from school about the nerves in the fingers. This would be the ulner nerve, no carpel involvement.

My suspicion is the backpack across the shoulder is compressing the nerve.

It is supposed to be raining but the sun is shining in Ashford as we wait for the drywall contractor to recut the attic access door to allow egress for the electrical contractor to remedy the attic space fan that has decided it needs to run 24-7 rather than run off the timer or thermostat as it originally did.
