General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

The problem in your index finger & thumb seems to be following nerve root pressure symptoms by cervical vertebrae. Which may require medications, physiotherapy /surgery as per the spinal surgeon's advise.

Urine incontinence you have might come from associated bladder infection/involvement of Lowe lumber & Sangram vertebrae pressing on nerves supplying bladder musculature.

The cause would be finalized by urine testing or MRI of Lumbosacral spine followed by cause-specific treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
