Feel Numb In The Fingers, Sometimes In The Whole Body. It Happens When Driving Bike, Looking Downwards. Treatment?
Hi, I am feeling sort of numbness on all my fingers of both hands(particularly finger end points) since 1 week. This feeling is persisting continuously all the time. Also since last 2 days some times there is a kind of similar feeling in whole body(more intense and quick come and go). I may not be able to clearly describe this and also my initial observation is it happens when I drive bike and move neck downwards to look below or soon after a long drive.
Thanks in advance.... with regards, Praveen

This needs check up of your neck (cervical spine) whether there is spondylosis. Also get your blood pressure measured.
X ray of neck AP and Lateral views may be asked for if you consult orthopedic surgeon.
You must do isometric and active neck movement exercises under a physiotharapist
