Q: numb finger and burning sensation in upper back... pinched nerve

Hello,

About 3 weeks ago a portion of my left index finger, on the left side of the finger between the first and second knuckles went numb. I made a doctors appointment to get it checked out, which is next Thursday. Just today my upper back, around the spine, is hurting and has a tingling/burning sort of sensation, and I am wondering if this is just a possible pinched nerve or could it be something more serious? I just wanted to know if I should see someone sooner about this? It's starting to worry me!

Thanks for any advice!

Did you get to see the doctor about what was going on? What did the doctor say.

How are you doing?

finger/back pain
Oh my gosh, I have the same thing going on. It happened in a little different sequence. For about the past year, every once in a while when I bend down or turn a cerain way, I get a very sharp stabbing pain in the middle of my back. that has subsided, but last week suddenly when I exptend my left arm, I get a shooting tingling feeling down my arm into my left index finger. Now my index finger at the middle knuckle hurts for most of the day. If I rest my arm and don't extend it, things seem to be okay, but I just can't seem to not use my arm. I'm going to see a doctor about it on Tuesday!
