In this episode of Making Sense of Women’s Health, Roberta Bass dives into a common yet often misunderstood symptom: hand numbness. While carpal tunnel syndrome is widely recognized, many other conditions can cause tingling, numbness, or weakness in the hands.

Roberta explores a variety of causes, including:

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: How pregnancy, menopause, and hormonal changes increase risk.
  • Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: The "funny bone" nerve and its impact on the ring and little fingers.
  • Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: Nerve and vascular compression at the neck and chest.
  • Raynaud’s Syndrome: Vascular narrowing triggered by stress or cold.
  • Peripheral Neuropathy: Nerve damage caused by diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, or alcohol.

Roberta also highlights the role of pregnancy and menopause in hand numbness, explains when to seek help, and discusses red flags that could indicate more serious underlying issues.

Whether you’re experiencing occasional tingling or persistent symptoms, this episode offers valuable insights into understanding and addressing hand numbness.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Common causes of hand numbness and their symptoms.
  • How hormonal changes during pregnancy and menopause contribute to hand issues.
