What Could Be The Reason For Having Numbness In My Index And Middle Finger?

My index and middle finger in my right hand stay numb but when I bend or lean forward my entire right arm goes numb. Cervical x-rays and MRI were fairly normal. I just can't tell where this is originating from, my shoulder, under my arm, collar bone area. I can't even sleep on my stomach anymore. What can be the cause?

Hi. If the x-ray and MRI are fairly normal , meaning there are no cervical disc problem is no extra cervical rib your Doctor has to guide the investigations towards other causes like scalene syndrome or vascular abnormality under the color bone.
