What Causes Numbness In Fingers An Arms And Weakness?

HI, I have numbness in my pinkies and along the base of my hand up to the elbows. I also am having issues with my right bicep. It feels like I have lifted too much weight but I have not. I feel like I have become much weaker when lifting or twisting caps, etc. Is this a pinched nerve in my neck? I do feel some discomfort on the left side of the low-lower neck.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Your symptoms indicate a neural involvement and it can be at level of Neck C8 T1 or at level of elbow where it involves a nerve behind the elbow known as the Ulnar nerve. the syndrome is called Cubital tunnel syndrome. the level or involvement is decided by examination and in some cases a NCV and EMG of the nerve along with MRI of the cervical spine is required. Please take out time to consult a peripheral nerve surgeon, who could be found under the head of Hand Surgeon.
