Loss of Reflexes
Another symptom of numb fingers is loss of reflexes. This is especially the case when peripheral neuropathy or certain brain conditions cause finger numbness. This disorder occurs when nerve damage interferes with the peripheral nervous system.
When a person loses their reflexes, everyday tasks may become increasingly difficult. Driving, holding objects or even walking may take a monumental effort. Loss of reflexes may develop due to damage to motor neurons, a type of brain cell in the spinal cord and brain.
