What Causes Tingling And Numbness In Hands And Fingers?
Whenever my right arm is on a hard surface, like using my mouse at my desk, my hand and fingers will tingle like they are going numb. Or if I m resting my right arm on the console in my vehicle, my hand and fingers will tingle and go numb. It is not as if I m putting any pressure on it, just gently resting the arm on any hard surface makes the fingers and hand tingle.

Hello
Your symptoms like tingling and numbness in hands and fingers may be related to cervical spine.
Your condition need proper clinical examination and investigations.
You may need X-ray of cervical spine (AP/Lateral view).
X-ray is basic investigation after clinical evaluation.
You may also need MRI of cervical spine.Tingling and numbness may be related to nerve roots compression,disc prolapse etc.Only MRI can evaluate in detail.
Physiotherapy or surgery requirement depend upon findings.
Get well soon.
Take care
