Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. I'm wondering if hand numbness should be treated in the neurology department or the orthopedics department?Doctor's answer:
It is highly likely that the symptoms are caused by damage to the motor nerves. It is recommended to visit a neurosurgery department for specific examinations to confirm the diagnosis. You can perform appropriate hand massages and soak your hands in warm water to promote blood circulation and alleviate the numbness symptoms. Pay attention to resting your hands and avoid excessive hand movements. Take vitamin B2 and wait for a period of time. If the finger numbness persists, further examinations should be conducted to check for conditions such as cervical spondylosis compressing the nerves or peripheral neuropathy.
