I am diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy and have tingling sensation in my fingers. Why is it so?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com.

The symptoms you describe could be consistent with a cervical disc problem but are not specific to how severe it might be. Numbness of the face is usually associated with disc problems in the neck, although I have seen patients complain about it in the past. The physical examination of your nerve function is essential. If you had signs of spinal cord compression, increased reflexes in the legs, weakness, or difficulty controlling bowel or bladder function, then there is urgency in seeing a neurosurgeon. If the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) shows signs of spinal cord compression, then there is also some urgency in seeing a neurosurgeon. If only a nerve root is involved, then sometimes these problems can be treated conservatively first if you send the report of the MRI and perhaps a photo of it that would be more helpful.
