Numbness in left pinky finger.

I had a bacel cell skin cancer removed from my neck in Febuary. I have started to have pretty bad pain in the back of my neck and top of my shoulders. Now I am experiencing numbness in my left pinky finger. Which is the side of my skin cancer also. What could be causing these symptoms??

I had the same procedure just under my right nostril but did not experience the same pain symptoms as you. I would strongly suggest you undergo an examination by the surgeon who performed this procedure. If not satisfied you should go for a second opinion.

In my day job I write about Blood Pressure Treatment and treat those who suffer from blood pressure problems. Low blood pressure is a particular interest and I'm often asked about how to lower cholesterol levels. A healthy heart is becoming a huge focus for many of us nowadays. Improving your blood pressure control and thus the health of your heart and circulation system is really important. My most recent online "adventure" is to start a facility for people to ask me my opinion and to provide high quality health information by answering medical questions online.

I also have a special interest in the problem of feeling Tired All the Time and in those who suffer from chronic fatigue or lethargy. This seems to tie in also to skin care issues or skin treatment problems and suggestions. Tiredness and fatigue can lead to major problems for many individuals in modern society and the way that this can affect all areas of general health can be quite invasive in terms of daily life and coping skills.

My work with footballers and athletes leads to a focus on Painful Shoulder conditions and on the problems associated with frozen shoulder or whiplash injury. Rotator cuff injury causes problems for many of my patients.

When not working I daydream about my next amazing european vacation trip My favorite European cities include Paris and Barcelona and my next blog project will be to write about the best way to spend a night in Paris and how to find an apartment in Barcelona. I just love European travel in all its forms.

It sounds like you may have a trapped nerve in your neck causing nerve pain down shouders and hands. However, considering your past health problems you shoud see a Doctor ASAP. I have recently undergone treatment for Breast Cancer so understand how worrying every little symptom can be. Good luck.

Pinched nerve is very probable due to the recent surgery. However, you also want to consider the fact that the symptoms you are describing point toward cervical issues that could be due to the cancer as well. You need to have the symptoms checked out completely.

If your current doctor is a good one, he will jump right on this. I am hoping he is a neurologist. If your current doctor isn't a neurologist, then get to one. If your current doctor is a neurologist and does nothing, don't wait around, find yourself another doctor.

Good luck.
