hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history.

As you have tingling and numbness of fingers in my view it appears to me as a cervical spine degenerative disc disease. Due to nerve impingement in the cervical spine the nerve becomes weak and leads to such symptoms of weakness, tingling, numbness, pain etc. Taking an MRI and a clinical examination will be helpful.

Treatment
it consists of Simple medicines, neck collar, physical therapy - like therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy. later stages exercises.

In my clinical practice most patients with such complaints have nerve impingement and with the help of MRI the level of nerve injury is determined. Later a combination of drug therapy and physical therapy is adviced and it works well.
