Answer

Generally it's the ulnar nerve that causes the numbness you are having in your fingers. So with that and your neck, it does sound as though you have a pinched nerve. At this point you can take Ibuprofen which is good for pain and inflammation as well. Apply a moist heating pad or compress to the area of the neck. If this doesn't get better in the about a day or to where it's getting any relief then you need to see your doctor. Untreated nerve compression could cause further damage.
