Pain In Right Hand And Foot, Pins And Needles In Right Arm, Cramps In Right Leg. Connections?

I have been experiencing pain in my right hand and right foot.
It's as if I have a splinter in my index finger, big toe and the toe next to it but only on my right side.
I sometimes get pins and needles in my right arm in the night
recently I have experienced cramps in my right leg.
Not sure if they are connected, should I go to my doctor?

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

Yes. You have to consult Neurologist.

I suspect you are suffering from symptoms of stroke or spinal cord compression on right side.

Any way you have to consult neurologist for both.
Stroke is an emergency condition and it need immediate treatment.

If you are my patient, i would examine your nervous system and cardiovascular system for any signs of stroke.
If it is a stroke, i would send you to emergency room immediately.

If you have signs of Compression of spinal nerve, i will refer you to neurologist for further management and follow up.

Hope this helps.
Please reply for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
