What causes tingling and numbness in arm?
Patient: I have a problem with my right arm. its a lot bigger than my left. I have throbbing pain through my whole arm. I have let this situation go to long about 2 months. I have no doctor at this time . im a 49 year old female, I also get tingling and numbness. im really scared . my father has had a stroke. right now I needed to talk to someone because im having severe pain in my whole arm. please help what should I do. Doctor: hi,thank you for providing the brief history of you.as mentioned by you the history a thorough neuromuscular assessment is needed.As you mentioned your symptoms post and assessment an MRI is guided . As it appears to be a pinched nerve in the cervical spine. For which I can recommend you a physical therapy. The therapist will help you with therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy. Also with exercises on later stages you will recover well.in my clinical practice i see cases with similar problems. and 99% respond well to physical therapy.regardsJay Indravadan Patel
