[|Human|] i have had a left numb thumb, the tip for over 2 weeks now. i previously have had a c5/6 fusion and discetomy in 2011 and in 2012 i had a c6/7 foramonamilaty ?? and scrape. Im just concerned as this has happened in my first injury, that it may be happening again
[|AI|]  Dear Sir/Madam have gone through your query and read your symptoms. In my opinion, numbness in the thumb could come from compression of the C5 element in the spine, or compression of the nerve at the forearm or wrist, to see the cause you need good examination, followed by a battery of tests, consult your doctor and get these done, and then we can proceed further to the treatment options in such cases. I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
