What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Right Arm?
I have numbness & tingling in my right arm & leg. It almost feels like it fell asleep. I also have a rotor cuff problem on the same side & wonder if that has anything to do with it. I injured the arm on Easter Sunday lifting something & ended up dropping said item-that s when the numbness started. Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Numbness and tingling sensation what you are experiencing in your right arm could be due to compression of intervertebral disc in the cervical vertebral region.
Kindly get x-ray of the neck region and consult Orthopedic Surgeon for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
Wish you good health.
