What Causes Numbness In Upper Extremities Bilateral, Hands, All Fingers And Thumb?
I have Hx with c3/4 diskectomy and fusion in 2005, past 2 years devolping muscular neck weakness, past 2 weeks experiencing numbness in upper extremities bilateral, increased throughout the night, numbness to hands and all fingers and thumb, except pinkie fingers. Seems that neck positioning and re positioning all night long prohibits sleep. Along with this is a constant crushing pain in both upper arms, regardless of when the numbness is present or not. for 2 days now my teeth are in pain as though they are set on a grinder.

What Causes Numbness In Upper Extremities Bilateral, Hands, All Fingers And Thumb?
Hello, It may be due to peripheral neuropathy. For further assessment you may require MRI neck, nerve conduction studies after spine surgeon consultation. You may require tablet pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation. Continue physical therapy. You may require detailed evaluation to rule out any other possibilities for vitamin deficiency or spondylitis. Hope I have answered your query... Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr Shyam kale Family and general physician
