I had surgery on my neck 2 times 23 years apart. dr summa put hardware this last time a year ago.the tingle in my hand has returned what should i do?

Tingling: Recurrent symptoms of tingling in the hands could be from the spine, or from a more peripheral process like carpal tunnel syndrome. Contact your neurologist or surgeon to discuss further as they may want to re-image your spine and arrange for an EMG study. The EMG study will show with relatively good sensitivity if this is coming from your spine or the nerves in your arms/wrists. Good luck.
