Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you that your index and middle finger are getting numb for nearly three weeks. There are two main possibility one is carpal tunnel syndrome and second possibility is compression in neck may be due to disc prolapse and cervical spondylosis.Other cause of numbness such as diabetes should also be considered.You need to be investigated.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.
