What Is The Treatment Of Tingling Sensation On Finger Tips ?

Tingling sensation on my finger tips
I feel pain on my left collar bone area and difficulty to lift my left hand pointing to the sky.
I've consulted the doctor and he said it is not fracture since there is no swelling however it could be strain. I told him that i also hv this tingling sensation on my finger tips. He prescribe medicine and advice me to do shoulder exercise in circular movements.
I did as per the doctor's advice however it worsen and no improvements on tingling sensation.
Your advice is really appreciated.

Yours sincerely

Hi,

Thank you for positing your query.

I have noted your symptoms. These are suggestive of peripheral neuropathy- a disease of the nerves of hands.

The symptoms could include tingling, numbness, weakness and pain.

A nerve conduction study would confirm the diagnosis.

Underlying causes could be diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency and thyroid problems.

There are good medications to treat this condition, if properly diagnosed.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
