It is quite normal that you get some “sensibility disturbance” when working with vibrating tools, both during the time it vibrates and a while afterwards. We call this a “short-term effect”, much like you hear a little worse after you have listened to loud music.

If you are worried or feel that you have a problem, or that it has gotten worse, you should seek advice immediately. A Vibration damage is insidious, but if you take action in time, there is a good possibility to prevent it from becoming a permanent injury. Start by contacting your occupational health care and ask to get a medical examination.
   
Many people continue with their work despite having a diagnosed vibration damage, ie. provided that they manage to work. In this case, it is very important to keep track of the damage, including regular medical checks to ensure that the damage is not getting worse.
