What Causes Tingling And Numbness In Thumb And Fingers?
I m a 44 yr old female who experiences tingling/numbness in my thumb and 2 middle fingers on my right hand. Several months ago I was having pains from my elbow to the middle of my forearm and was told I had tennis elbow but no longer having pains there. I experience tingling when I push a cart or a lawn mower and sometimes wake up from this happening. Is this part of the symptoms from tennis elbow or if not what could this be?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, tingling and numbness of fingers is not the sign of tennis elbow but this could be due to cervical spine disease (Spondylosis ) disk compression and to confirm this you need to get done the imaging study of cervical spine till then try to maintain good posture while sleeping for better advise have orthopedic opinion, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
