How To Get Rid Of Burning Or Tingling Sensation In Forearm?
My son fell during a basketball game today and instantly felt a burning or tingling sensation. They immediately applied ice, but there are two distinct bumps on his forearm that are kind of strange. He says it is not really that painful. He can bend and twist his arm and he can grip with that hand. He just complains of a burning or tingling sensation.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the fall. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses at the area of the bumps. I recommend to rest avoid activities that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
Arm burning sensation may be a sensation of tingling (feeling of “pins and needles”) or burning in the arm that is medically known as paresthesia. It can result from an arm injury or pressure on a nerve in the arm. I suggest to apply ice pack and rest If he doesn't feel better make an X ray and consult an orthopedist.
