Finger numbness: may be from carpal tunnel/ ulnar compression. Repetitive work? , like computer all day? Ergonomically arrange the computer- monitor eye level , hand piano style on keyboard ,elbows 90 degrees. Break every 45 minutes, shake out hands. Consider night splints, consider a trial of motrin/aleve ,if not allergic and possible steroids. Check TSH, DM, rarely MS,neck DJD f/u w/ doc/urgent care
