I have a numb 2nd finger and my hand falls asleep every few ...

Generally numbness indicates entrapped or pinched nerve. From the information you have given, sounds as though this is related to the ulnar nerve. Request an NCV and/or EMG test, which can indicate where this is occurring for proper treatment. If left untreated could cause further damage.

The unlar nerve affects the fourth and fifth finger and not the thumb and second. I will be going back to my doctor next week and hopefully he can do more than therapy, which is doing no good!

Your right, the last numbers that I read stuck in my head when I typed ulnar vs Median. However, if it's numbness related, I would request and NCV/EMG test, as this will indicate if it's actually nerve related or if it's due to circulation problem. If you don't get anywhere with your doctor, you can also follow up with a neurologist as well.

Hope this helps Hun
