I got that after having a girl on my shoulders when Metallica played at Wembley Stadium. She was erm, bouncing around on my shoulders for about 20 mins and when she got down my fingers were tingling.....and my thumb was numb.
It lasted for about 2 weeks and slowly went. I assumed a few nerves got squished/damaged.

Have you been carrying a heavy bag on a shoulder strap for an extended period or anything?

Rode my steel hardtail yesterday, got home, trackbike out (stiff bars) and rode to the gym and back. Could be that?

Am I right in thinking you believe you may have had a stroke and would rather ask people about it on the internet than go to a hospital? 🙄

Little and ring fingers?

Cubital tunnel syndrome would cover it...

Nerve damage innit. I lost feeling in the edge of my big toes for about 3 weeks after a 24 hour solo.

Some of my gloves do this. I think youd best not ride a bike nor visit a bike Internet ever again, justto be safe like.

Sounds like nerve damage, likely to be just bruised. But may take upto a couple of weeks to return back to normal.

On the other hand it could be the start of MS......

don't you need a brain to have a stroke?

Maybe having a violent "stroke" caused it?

I've had that tingling feeling a couple of times - once due to severe seasickness and once just before the mother of all migraines that left me a helpless panting mess on the floor. So if you're not on a boat, start worrying.

it sounds like you have leprosy, have been molesting goats, and are clearly having issues in determining whether your brain gender matches your physical gender.

Best be institutionalised for your own good.

Have I been drinking? Your having a laff? Bear, Pope, etc. MrNutt, your talking about the gradual degeneration of nerve endings caused by chronic alcoholism?

I was leathered last night mind, I even started singing like a bloody Polish immigrant.

Zedsdead, the numbness is on my t'other hand not my actionhand(TM)

probably just the first caress of Multiple Sclerosis.
Better get a nights worth of w+nking in before you become impotent.

Sorry uncalled for really i know.
Probably ulnar nerve or neck.

You've upset your Ulnar nerve, probably in your hand, comes from leaning on your hypothenar eminence too much (the heel of your hand, the swelling below your little finger). The ulnar nerve runs through it. Quite common in cycllists, its what Specialized's Body Geometry gloves were invented for with that big gel pad....

It'll settle, don't worry about it... I'd just worry about your stroking habit!

Yup sounds like my symptoms, got from typing a lot and having arms/hands in funny positions. Also EXACTLY what I got yesterday when I stabbed a knife through my forearm and sank it into the bone. Lost almost all the feeling in my little and next finger in and a lot of the strength too. Its come back over the last 24 hours, fortunately.

You could consider asking someone who actually knows what they're doing.
I slept on my arm last night and woke up with pins & needles in my hand, so it must definately be that.

I think I know what it is. numbness under bone in forearm now. I sit at a slight angle resting my bodyweight onto my right forearm/bone ontop of the leading edge of the desk.

hora, see the doc, had the same thing, ignored it, ended up with ops on both elbow's - cubital tunnel syndrome, nerve going through elbow trapped. If it's only just started and you rest it/take anti inflamitories? it'll prob go away but see the doc.
