Experiencing Numbness In My Arms And Hands, Getting Worse Day By Day. Worried What Could It Be?
On and off over the last year I have experienced some numbness in my arms (mainly right one) and hands. Recently it has been getting worse and I was awake some of last night feeling really uncomfortable. I cannot seem to grip things and typing this my hand is tingling and partially numb. I am starting to worry, what could it be?

Hi '
Welcome to healthcaremagic'
It may be that you are having some problem with the nerves in your hand. May be that the nerve supplying the muscles of your hand is getting involved.
most common cause is the pressure by cervical ribs present sometimes in some persons .
Please consult an orthopedic surgeon and get a check up and take treatment .
hope you will be alright with treatment .
