Possibly carpal tunnel syndrome:
What are the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome?
Symptoms usually start gradually, with frequent burning, tingling, or itching numbness in the palm of the hand and the fingers, especially the thumb and the index and middle fingers. Some carpal tunnel sufferers say their fingers feel useless and swollen, even though little or no swelling is apparent. The symptoms often first appear in one or both hands during the night, since many people sleep with flexed wrists. A person with carpal tunnel syndrome may wake up feeling the need to "shake out" the hand or wrist. As symptoms worsen, people might feel tingling during the day. Decreased grip strength may make it difficult to form a fist, grasp small objects, or perform other manual tasks. In chronic and/or untreated cases, the muscles at the base of the thumb may waste away. Some people are unable to tell between hot and cold by touch.

has information on causes and treatment for it. If you have these symptoms (tingling fingers is one), or if you are concerned in general about the tingling sensation, please talk to your physician.

could mean a few different things. could be you have undiagnosed diabetes and high blood sugars are resulting in neuropathy - causing tingling and loss of sensation. could be a pinched nerve in your neck somewhere, also a result of osteoarthritis, also a symptom of carpal tunnel disease. See an MD.
