What Causes Tingling Sensation And Numbness In The Fingers?
I have been having tingling and numbness sensation on the right hand side of my fingers when ever I put my arm up at a 90 degree angle. 3 days ago i felt a shock sensation on my wrist and then tingling sensation on my fingers which quickly went away. Is this something I should be worried about?

Dear patient
you may be suffering from compression of the nerves at cervical spine may be due to disc prolapse. Diagnosis needs to be confirmed by doing MRI of the cervical spine. Please get it done from radiology centre nearby you. Meanwhile start tab pregalin x 75 mg one at bedtime. You need to visit orthopedic surgeon nearby your area with report.
