You worked with a very heavy drill for an or yesterday and today your fingers hands are bit numb Any connection?
Yes, there is a connection.
Using a very heavy drill for a long period of time can cause damage to the nerves in your fingers and hands, resulting in numbness.
Here's how it happens:
* The vibration from the drill can damage the small blood vessels that supply blood to the nerves. This can lead to ischemia, which is a lack of blood flow to the nerves.
* The vibration can also directly damage the nerves themselves.
* The combination of ischemia and direct nerve damage can cause numbness, tingling, and pain in the fingers and hands.
These symptoms typically improve within a few days or weeks, but in some cases they can be permanent.
To prevent this from happening, it is important to take breaks when using a heavy drill and to avoid using it for extended periods of time.
You should also wear gloves that will help to absorb some of the vibration.
If you experience any numbness, tingling, or pain in your fingers or hands after using a heavy drill, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any serious injuries.
