Tell your doc: The sensation you describe of pins and needles in your hands and fingers is referred to as paresthesia and may represent irritation of the cervical (neck) nerves to your hand on that side likely as a result of the physical therapy for your shoulder. Tell you physical therapist and doctor before any more physical therapy. He or she may want to do more tests and or change the shoulder therapy.

See a physician: The symptoms you are having for this long could be from many sources- carpal tunnel syndrome, clerical nerve impingement or some metabolic or inflammatory disease. It is doubtful that it is related to the bursitis.
