[|Human|] I have tingling in my fingers and find them hard to bend. This started in July 2017 and has increased to the point I have pain in my forearms and sometimes my shoulders. In addition my veins in my hands bulge at times and seem as though they might explode.
[|AI|]  Hi, Your symptoms may be due to nerve root compression in the cervical spine or may be due to disc herniation. Nerve compression in the neck leads to tingling and numbness in both the arms and fingers as explained by you. Diagnosis needs to be confirmed by doing MRI of the cervical spine with a screening of whole the spine. Please get it done from radiology center nearby you. Meanwhile, start tablet Pregabalin. Visit orthopedic surgeon for a detailed clinical examination.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
