General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to 'Ask me Doctor' service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Symptoms are suggestive of vit B12 deficiency as well as cervical nerve compression which is causing numbness in upper arm and fingers.
neurosurgeon consultation is required for proper examination and finding cause of nerve compression.
CT cervical spine is required for it.
start Vitamin B 12 parenterally initially daily for week and then weekly for 1-2 months.

Hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
Dr. Hiren
