Numbness: Unfortunately you may need another opinion. Suggest a neurologist instead of a neurosurgeon.

C5 c6 affects the: Lateral side of the forearm and the thumb mainly, but there can be slight differences. Carpal tunnel affects the thumb tip, index and middle and half of ring. There can be both, or one can exacerbate he other, exam can help sort this out, at times a trial of injection in the carpal canal is helpful both diagnostically and therapeutically. Perhaps a hand surgeon can help. Tremors are not from eithe.

Second opinion: It sounds like you need a diagnosis, and at this point a second opinion. I don't think it matters whether a neurologist or a spine surgeon as much as someone who takes your symptoms seriously and gives you a pathway towards understanding your problem and a path for treatment.
