Default Numb fingers?

Has anyone with cervical problems experienced any numbness in their fingertips? If so, did you already know you had cervical issues prior to that feeling, or did you find out after the fact that that's what was happening?

Reason I'm asking is, all of the sudden, all of my fingertips on both hands have gone numb, and I'm having a little trouble typing. I haven't taken any medication. I'm a lumbar spiney with DDD, and I've often wondered that me being so young and having so many back problems with no obvious trauma (no car accidents or slip-and-falls) that my future is more likely to have cervical issues in store for me as well.

I know I haven't been posting much lately, but my life has been beautifully uneventful. I've been home all summer with my kids (), taking things slowly and healing from my 2 level lumbar ADR (3 months ago).

Thanks!
Jess

MRI 4/2008 shows bulging disc with annular tear @ 4/L5 and and complete herniation at L5/S1.

9/11/08 Laminectomy , successful to a point...relieved nerve pain, but after 4 months was still having severe disc pain.

Treatments tried: epidural shots, oral pain killers, NSAID's, TENS massage, chiropractic care, deep tissue massage. Oh, and plenty of our homemade wine!
