What Causes Pricking/tingling Sensation In Fingers/hands With History Of Herniated Disc?

Hi , I have been experiencing pin prick like sensations in my fingers and hands especially after a long period of sitting. I also feel this sensation in my feet at times. I saw a doctor that gave me a muscle performance test and the test did not reveal anything major. It was recommended that i go therapy but i really don t know why i was sent . i have not yet been as i am not able to pay for the sessions at this time. I also now have pain in my lower back in the tailbone area. As i type this i am having some tingling. I did get splints for my hands and wore them for a bit but they are cumbersome and make my hands sweat. i am not sure if i should see another doctor for my back but it seems to be getting worse as far as the lower back is concerned. I have had been diagnosed with herniated discs in the past also. Sorry. I didn t know i would have to pay. Please disregard.

Hi, Welcome to healhcaremagic. After going through your query I concluded that you are having tingling sensation your upper limbs and lower limbs. You are having backache and slipped dIsc. But because you have numbness and tingling in all four limbs so you should got yourself examined for systemic disease such as diabetes, thyroid, Vitamins deficiencies and neurological disease . Mecobalamin helps in reducing numbness and tingling. analgesic such as ibuprofen are used for reducing pain and tingling. You can get your MRI of spine to further investigate the cause. You can discuss about it with your doctor. Hope your query get answered. If you have additional questions and clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your query. Wishing you good health. Take care.
