Could tingling sensation in arms be caused by slip disc or shoulder surgery?
Patient: I had shoulder surgery 6 months ago for a torn rotator cuff. I am now having symptoms of numbness, burning and tingling down my arm and into my hand, forefinger and thumb in the same arm I had shoulder surgery. It does not stay like this though. It comes and goes. Also, its not always in my hand and sometimes it just tingles in my arm. My shoulder still hurts from my surgery . I do not have this tingling and burning sensation while sleeping. Could this be a nerve from a slipped disc or from my shoulder surgery? Why would this come after six months. Doctor: hiAn  x ray spine may be done to r/o neck spondylitis, the most common cause for pain radiation to arm with or without disc implication...you may rotate and move your neck in all directions to check for yourself if it radiates or accentuated pain down arm or cause any neck pain...Shoulder exercises are necessary to keep power of shoulder muscles and a weakened shoulder can itself lead to this sort of symptom, so check up with an orthopedics doctorphysical therapy too is requiredthanks,best wishes,Dr sunil srivastava
