Suggest Treatment For Numbness In The Chest

Nerve compression.
Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
Judging from that description of sensation abnormalities including the pinky and ring fingers there is an issue of nerve compression. Nerve compression may be in the spine due to arthritis changes like bulging discs or may be further on in the nerve bundles path like in thoracic outlet syndrome where there is compression of the nerves as it passes from the lower neck into the armpit.
Such compression may be due to trauma and repeated strain, from born abnormalities like a cervical rib etc. In some rare cases it may be due to a tumor as well.
So generally speaking I would say not to worry much as it is most probably due to a strain, advise some rest, over the counter painkillers like Ibuprofen and if symptoms persist consider physical therapy. That spot in the lung does cause a little concern though for the possibility of a tumor not seen by x-ray, so it is good that you're having a CT to put your mind at rest on that regard.
I remain at your disposal for other questions.
