Tickling and numbness in fingers
Hi
I had accidentally pushed my neck backwards too much and from that point there was tickling and numbness in fingers.
Numbness is mostly in the morning

Cervical nerve impingement can be very painful and cause a lot of arm symptoms like yours. The best treatment for this is working on your cervical postural muscles and shoulder blade muscle toning. Occasionally in early stages joint mobilsation can also help to reduce symptoms and compression of the thecal sac.

Hey there...
I went through your reports. It says
there is a nerve Compression in the neck because of buldgin of disc. Since there is compression at nerve root, the tingling / numbness sensations will radiate into the arms and fingers along the route of the nerve. To get rid of it, you have to get rid off the compression in the neck.
Next Steps
See a Physiotherapist.
- Take Shortwave diathermy and ultrasonic therapy to reduce the inflammation and relax the muscles of the neck region.
- Once the inflammation has subsided, go for ultrasound and cervical traction to release the compression from your neck. By this you will see the tingling sensations will reduce over a period of time
Treatment duration: 12-15 days. Everyday half an hour dedicated physiotherapy. There will be 5-7% recovery everyday so you need to take it on a regular basis. If recovery more than that.. Its an added bonus.
Just relax dont worry about it too much.
Health Tips
-Wear cervical collar during travelling

Your MRI reports seems to be normal but that is enough to make a proper diagnosis. your symptoms might be due to some postural disturbances but I would recommend you to consult a physiotherapist and start doing exercises so as to maintain a proper balance
Next Steps
If there is no relief in pain then consult any spine specialist
Health Tips
Avoid jerky movements of neck and if you have prolonged sitting desk job then you must check the height of your table which has to be at your chest level, avoid forward neck posture and try to do some neck movements in between.
