Hello, thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. You will have to elaborate your problem as to a detailed discussion of your neck pain which means duration of pain and mode of onset. You have mentioned that your fingers get numb occasionally and you are also a diabetic. We will have to actually see whether this numbness is due to your long standing diabetes or spine issue. My advice for you will be: - to get a detailed neurological examination (both motor and sensory done for yourself) so that I can understand whether there is any compression at neck region - please send me your x rays and mri cervical spine region - you should continue with anti inflammatory medications, adequate sugar control, medications for neuropathic symptoms like pregabalin and/or gabapentin, vitamin b12 supplementation, adequate calcium and vitamin d supplementation etc. Once I have investigation reports with me, I will be able to advise you in a better manner. Please also tell me about any associated symptoms like fever, weight loss etc. What medications you generally take and what has been your treatment history till now for existing problem. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.
