Discomfort In Upper Arm Radiating To Lower Arm. Pinched Nerve? Tingling Sensation On Fingers And Palm. Cure?
I have had slight discomfort on my upper arm and this later spread to my lower arm. I researched this and it seemed to be symptoms of a pinched nerve. I applied ice over a few days and the discomfort has disappeared. However, I now have a tingling sensation in my fingers and palm. What can I do to stop this sensation. Thank you so much for your help.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms you are having are likely to be due to nerve root inflammation or compression. Such symptoms usually subside on taking mild pain killers like acetaminophen and methylcobalamin supplements. Consulting a neurologist will be helpful.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
