I started off at 90 degrees and then went full flexion in a very short time, so far so good.A bit sore after a 10k.Some foam roller massage and a bit of ice I was fine.

tingling fingers

Sounds like the problem may originate from the C spine.The nerves from this area of the neck directly affect the hands and fingers and arms.
I have had this problem for years.C spine arthritis.

Have your Doctor check it out.
