Hello,

Tingling sensation mainly due to nerve compression caused by cervical fusion. For that, I would like to advise you the following:
-You can take the tablet Brufen and Pregaba NT.
-Apply diclofenac gel or cream.
-Apply ice locally.
-Do x-ray and MRI neck region.
-Treatment mainly depends upon underlying conditions. Kindly follow with detailed history or consult with the physician.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
