What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Fingers And Face?

Hi! I am having tingling in right fingers and feeling goes into my face or head sometimes. It feels like someone is pricking me with a needle. Also wrist feels like rubber band around it. And upper right arm hurts when sleeping on it. I am side-sleeper so cannot sleep on my right arm either. More pain at night and constantly wake up because of it. Finally, I cannot stretch my arm behind my back like I used to; mobility is not 100%. Could I have multiple issues? If so, what could it be?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
dear
as per the description it seems to be a nerve sensation.Though such complaints are quite common in diabetic patients,we can also find in vit b12 deficiency as well.so it is advisable for a vit b12 assessment along with a regular nutritious diet and rest.
some times side sleepers also have the same feelings due to postural compression.
however for prolonged symptoms detail clinical examination and consultation is needed
hope this helps
