What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Fingers?
I m a 49 year old male in very good health. I m not taking any medications and a non smoker. I workout 5 times per week running swimming and weight lifting at least 60 min daily. I have some increased numbness and tingling in fingers what started on my right hand is now both right and left side over the last several days. I have never experienced this before. No head injuries and no surgeries. What could the cause be?

Hello,
It may be due to nerve compression at cervical level. For further assessment you may require MRI neck, nerve conduction studies, vitamin b 12 after spine surgeon consultation. You may require tablet pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation. Continue physical therapy. In case of not getting relief you may require surgical intervention after surgeon consultation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
