<s>[INST] This sounds silly, but my rt index finger(distal tuft) has been numb for 3 days. I was using some scissors to make cut outs for over an hour. The numbness seemed to occur about an hour after all the cutting. I do have cervical spine issues and am seeing my pain doctor for routine visit on Monday. What could be the cause and will it go away soon do you think? [/INST] You need to get an MRI of the cervical spine. Take Tablet Pregabalin 75mg at night for a month to tackle the numbness. Very a Nerve conduction study done as well to see the event of damage to the nerve. </s>
