Loss of Feeling in Fingers
I would sure like some help finding an article, but the only thing is I am not sure if it was on this site. I have numbness and tingling in my hands and had carpal tunnel surgery over a year ago and it did not work. I was reading an article one day and it referred to the fact that it could be related to our WLS. I am looking to get more information on this if anyone can remember seeing anything like this or maybe you know about this symptom.
I have trouble picking things up and holding a pencil so hopefully I can get to the bottom of this.
Also on this new format I can't find the search button to find things. Can anyone help with that also.
Thanks so much
B12 deficiency can cause that. So can thiamine and copper deficiencies but B12 deficiency is more common.

Low B1 b6, B12, hypothyroidism can contribute to all of that. And many other issues.
