Dear patient
What is your age? is the tingling numbness in all fingers or lateral three fingers? If you are middle age and numbness in all fingers is there likely possibility is nerve compression at the level of cervical spine. If tingling numbness is only in lateral three fingers likely cause is carpel tunnel syndrome. Diagnosis needs to be confirmed by 1.mri of the cervical spine 2. Nerve conduction studies of the involved limb. Please get it done from radiology centre nearby you. Meanwhile start tab pregalin x 75 mg one at bedtime. You need to consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby your area with report.
