Why is the bottom half of my right-hand ring finger numb? It doesn't hurt, but there's no feeling in it.

It's been this way for around a week. No injuries that I know of. Probably not carpal tunnel - I don't have any of the other symptoms. Help!

a pinched nerve perhaps?

your ring is too tight. take it off.

Maybe you lost your circulation?

Can you bend it? If you can't, you probably sprained it.

If you're not wearing a ring and this is happening, it could be a sign of a medical condition. See your doctor asap.

Unexplained numbness in the arms, legs, hands or feet needs to be looked at right away. Especially if it's ongoing like yours seems to be.
