Suggest Remedy For Tingling In Pinkie Finger And Pain In Arm

I am having trouble with my right arm and hand below the elbow. My pinkie finger on my right arm and the one next to it feel like they are tingling or asleep and I have aching in my arm. I can still function but it is a worry and sometimes bothers me when I go to bed so it keeps me from falling asleep right away. I am right handed so this is another problem for me.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
As per your symptoms tingling in pinky finger can be due to diffuse disc bulge compressing your cervical spine.

When such patient comes to my hospital we usually do MRI spine to see for severity of nerve compression.
Some medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain, you can take them consulting your treating doctor.
Also check your vit B12 and vit D3 in your blood.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
