Hello, iv been suffering from sciatica its a on going complaint, yesterday I had a MRI scan so waiting for the results, this morning iv woke up and experiencing numbness and tingling to some of my fingers on my right hand, iv been previously been laid up with sciatica but never experienced this. Is this something that can happen to the fingers and if so should I be doing something about it such as contacting myou doctor.

I would really appreciate advice about this if anyone has any or experiencing the same thing, I'm just so worried and I don't know what to do

Thank you

    Yes. Our body is wired with nerves.

    The arms are innervated from the cervical vertebrae C5-6-7-8 and yes, all the way to your fingers.

    It is possible that you slept funny.

    So, be vigilant, perhaps keep a diary. But don't push the panic button just yet.

    kind regards

    Hi Angela.diamonds

    How long did the tingling last?....you may have been lying on your hand or arm and caused pins and needles...or it could be neurological...if the tingling continues you may have a B12 deficiency which causes tingling.......do you have any other symptoms such as extreme fatique, low energy, brain fog, bad memory?.....

    Hi Angela.diamonds, It could be carpal tunnel. Do you experience pain at all? Thats what I experienced and I had the same symptoms. Of course Im not a doctor. You will get more responses Im sure and someone may have another suggestion. I hope you get relief soon. God bless you
