Brief Answer:
Numbness is due to neuropathy

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you are having two different group of problems. First is numbness.Most commonly it is caused by neuropathy. In this either there is nerve compression in spine or vitamin B 12 deficiency.It is common in Diabetics. I would suggest you to get your serum B 12 and spine x ray. If there is deficiency of B12 then you start taking tablet Methylcobal one daily.
As far as finger stiffness is concerned I think it can be tenosynovitis. It can be confirmed by clinical examination by Orthopaedic doctor. it can be cured by steroid injection.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
