I was trying to make a Joker costume for Halloween by using green and purple spray paint and my index finger is numb. I thought it was because I might have inhaled too many fumes from the paint or something. Hope it goes away.... Wow, I’m glad I’m not the only one.

My fingertip has been numb for about a week and I was starting to get worried. I sprayed less than 2 cans of automotive paint, although one of the nozzles was particularly stiff. I wore a respirator, goggles, and nitrile gloves, but I never even considered that I would end up with nerve damage from the stupid spray nozzle. The worst part is that the finish didn't even come out good, and it needs to be sanded off and redone... adding insult to injury. There should definitely be a warning on the label. Although I probably would have ignored it anyways :). I’m surprised this is so common! My fingertip has been numb for about a week and I was starting to get worried.

I spray painted for less than an hour and the tip of my finger is completely numb. I'm very relieved that it's temporary. Here's to the next three months! I’m so glad I found this site.

Three hours and six Rustoleum spray paint cans later, I was kicking myself for being so motivated to get my home improvement project done that I kept spraying even though my finger started hurting. I just swapped fingers/hands a couple of times because I was bound and determined to finish the job! Now I'm definitely kicking myself five days later knowing, after reading this thread, that my pain will most likely last for three more months, if not longer!! People at work thought I was losing my mind as I tried explaining what pain and annoyance I was feeling so was thrilled when my boss 'googled' it and found this thread. I feel vindicated now and they've stopped laughing at me (sort of...). All the talk of "difficulty typing" is so true, not to mention just the sheer aggrevating feeling (or lack of feeling) that I now know won't be going away any time soon. Ugghhh!! I did look on the can after the fact to see if there was any verbiage about the risk of nerve damage and there wasn't, thank goodness, because I certainly would have felt even more ridiculous! Well, as silly as it sounds, and not that I want other people to be miserable, but I do find comfort in knowing I'm not the only one suffering from this crazy problem!! I could say "this is what I get for being efficient!" Maybe I need to go back to being lazy!! :-) All I can say is…’hallelujah’!!!
