What Could Numbness In Fingers And Tingling Arms Suggest?

I have numbness in my right index finger and middle finger. Depending where I hold my arm I can get tingling in my whole arm. It started with pain behind my right should blade. That is better but if I tilt my head toward my right shoulder I feel pain in my shoulder blade again and my arm feels like its asleep. Been going on for about 2 weeks

Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you may be suffering from cervical spodylosis as as your whole arm tingles and it get better when you turn your neck towards right shoulder. But you have said specifically tingling in middle and index finger.So you should get your test of nerve conduction done to rule out carpal tunnel syndrome. For pain relief you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen. Vitamin B and C are helpful in recovering. For numbness neurotropic agents like Mecobalamine will be of help. Diacerine and glucasamine help in regeneration of cartilages and prevent its breakdown. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
