What Causes Tingling Sensation In Fingers And Pain In Elbow?
I have been weeding my garden almost daily for several weeks. Recently, I began to get a tingling sensation in my fingers (mostly felt on my right hand, sometimes my left). Along with that, I have elbow pain, presumably from using some cumbersome garden tools. Is the tingling caused by tendonitis? It has persisted now for two weeks.

Hi,
Complete rest to the hand is required to reduce the symptoms. Muscle strain or tendonitis could be the cause. Rule out peripheral neuropathy causes like diabetes. Rest, pain killers and Vitamin B12 supplements can produce early recovery.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
