TINGLING IN RIGHT HAND N LEG
Respected Sir,
i m having sciatica pain and neck pain radiating to right arm...also tingling in ring n small (last two fingers)
kindly elaborate my MRI old
The minimal nerve root compression at C4-5 may be causing your symptoms in the right arm and fingers (tingling in the ring and small fingers). These symptoms align with irritation of the nerves exiting the cervical spine.
For sciatica pain dedicated MRI of lumbosacral spine is needed
Next Steps
Focus on posture correction, neck strengthening exercises, and nerve mobilization techniques.
• Medications: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain relief. Neuropathic medications like gabapentin or pregabalin may help with tingling.
• Hot/Cold Compresses: For neck pain relief.
• Ergonomic Adjustments: Proper neck support during work and while sleeping can prevent strain.
Avoid prolonged neck flexion (e.g., looking down at phones or laptops).
• Take frequent breaks during desk work.
Health Tips
Consult a neurologist or spine specialist.
