What causes numbness and tingling on arm with pain?
Patient: I was in a tacking drill at football practice and when I made contact with my teamate, my arm went numb and then tingled until it regained feeling after about a minute and a half. There is still some pain, what is wrong? YYYY@YYYY Thanks, jared Doctor: Hello,  The pain, tingling, numbness in the upper limb are usually because of the sudden jerk applied to the nerve which may allow it to behave in an awkward fashion.  To confirm that the nerve is involved and the exact location there needs to have a physical examination by a specialist post which you will be guided the medicine and the simple exercise to improve the muscle strength.   Maybe some physiotherapy sessions will be advised along with TENS therapy to reduce the pain and improve the nerve conditing ability.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
