Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My fingers on my left hand go numb and tingle this has been going on for some time. Now it is getting to me. In my field of work I m afraid I might drop a hot irons in my customers lap . I ve been walking around with my hand in the air for some relief
As you have tingling and numbness of fingers in my view it appears to me as a cervical spine degenerative disc disease. Due to nerve impingement in the cervical spine the nerve becomes weak and leads to such symptoms of weakness, tingling, numbness, pain etc. Taking an MRI and a clinical examination will be helpful.
Treatment it consists of Simple medicines, neck collar, physical therapy - like therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy. later stages exercises.
In my clinical practice most patients with such complaints have nerve impingement and with the help of MRI the level of nerve injury is determined. Later a combination of drug therapy and physical therapy is adviced and it works well.
