Brief Answer: You need to be evaluated... Detailed Answer: Hi, The tingling and numbness of only two fingers are slightly vague complaints to indicate serious organic pathology. However the fact that they start when you turn the neck suggest that it needs to be evaluated. Couple of possibilities which your doctor should look for are: 1. Cervical spondylosis. Here the changes on neck can affect nerves that pass through it. The pressure on nerves can lead to sensory disturnbance such as yours. 2. Thoracic outlet syndrome. Here blood vessels and nerves that pass from the thorax (chest) to arms get compressed by position leading to similar symptoms. Your local doctor will know about both these conditions. Visit your physician for detailed evaluation. Hope this answers your query. Regards

Brief Answer: Multidisciplinary hospitals.... Detailed Answer: Hi, Honestly, I personally do not know of any doctors at Mumbai. However you can walk into a nearby multidisciplinary hospital and find either a general physician or orthopedician. Sahyog Hospital is one which I think is closest to you. But if you are ok travelling for half an hour to one hour, you can visit Bhaktivedanta Hospital located at Mira Road East, Mira Bhayandar. You may find reputed doctors from both orthopedic and internal medicine specialty under one roof. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications. Regards
Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
