How Can pain And Tingling Sensation In The Hand And Elbow Be Treated?
I am having pain from the back scapula that goes around to the front down the humerus, elbow and into my hand. At times the pain is very severe. At times it is hard to straighten my elbow and when this happens my hand gets the tingling sensation like it going to sleep.
Dear patient you have got symptoms of nerve compression most likely at the level of cervical spine. Reason for nerve compression may be bulging disc or osteophyte. I would like to advise Mri of the cervical spine with screening of the involved upper limb. Meanwhile start tab pregalin x 75 mg one at bedtime. You need to consult neurophysician with report.
