What Causes Soreness In The Shoulder Along With Tingling In The Fingers?

Hello my name is Tracey, I have been a childcare worker for 37 years, many, many years of repetitive work huge amount of lifting, I suffer with very sore shoulders, very, very, sore elbows all the time, tingling in my fingers most nights, just lately I am also getting very stiff fingers in the mornings with some pain in all of them, most of these symptoms ease if I do less physical work, but become worse if I do more. I was just wondering mainly about my fingers & why they have become a lot worse lately.

Hi,

As per my surgical experience, the sore shoulder with tingling in the fingers indicate issue at shoulder or thoracic outlet region compressing nerve of brachial plexus mainly lower segment supplying hand and fingers as radial, medial or ulner.

Do not consider as mere stress of work or fatigue, immediately consult your doc for best neurologic evaluation of reflexes as well as sensory, motor pathways of upper limb.

He or she will guide you for possible need of X-ray chest with or without MRI of the shoulder and upper chest region , so that definite conclusion can be carried out and further management can be obtained precisely without further neurology damage ahead.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
