Is it normal for your thumb to randomly go numb?

What causes your right pointer and thumb fingers to go numb?

• Answer:

  A few years back, my mother had the same problem. Her's turned out to be carpul (spl?) tunnel syndrome. Basically the cartiledge in her wrist was "choking" the nerves that led to her fingers. Because she does alot of repetetive motion such as typing and filing her only relief was very minor surgery on both wrists. She's had no problems at all since!
