A member asked:

Have had upper back strain for 24 hours now. mostly felt when i turn my neck far left or right. woke up today with tingling in left thumb, index, middle. tingling has persisted for over two hours now. related to the back issue?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Impingment: I suspect the problem is a bulging or herniated intervertebral disc or a spur in you lower neck pressing on a nerve root. I'd expect more symptoms on turning your head to the left. I recommend consulting a neurologist or neurosurgeon to evaluate and advise you about treatment options. An MRI of the cervical spine will most likely be ordered.
