Answer – This may be a cervical problem. Avoid lifting heavy items to avoid this. Apply a light pillow. By lifting heavy goods, the jolt of the hands starts pressing the neck. Also, the gap in bones increases. This causes neck pain to reach the hands and fingers. Seeing a doctor, put on a cervical collar and take medicines. If you do not get rest in a month, then MRI examination is recommended.
