What Causes Numbness In Index Finger?

This sounds silly, but my rt index finger(distal tuft) has been numb for 3 days. I was using some scissors to make cut outs for over an hour. The numbness seemed to occur about an hour after all the cutting. I do have cervical spine issues and am seeing my pain doctor for routine visit on Monday. What could be the cause and will it go away soon do you think?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
You need to get an MRI of the cervical spine. Take Tablet Pregabalin 75mg at night for a month to tackle the numbness. Very a Nerve conduction study done as well to see the event of damage to the nerve.
