Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tingling sensation in left hand while on Valium and Vicodin . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like abnormal levels of vitamin B12 or other vitamins, potassium, calcium, or sodium , poor blood supply to the affected area , herniated disk in your spine , pressure on your nerves diabetes or transient ischemic attack , cervical problem or stress . The ssymptoms can also occur due to side effects of certain medicine like Valium and Vicodin , so also consult doctor who prescribed them. I would suggest you to put your hand in hot water tun with epsom salt for 15 minutes daily , drink plenty if water , eat healthy and do light exercise . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination rule out any psychological problem and treatment . If your are experiencing dizziness , shortness of breath or weakness along with numbness and tingling in legs then your should go to emergency . Doctor may recommend physical therapy along with vitamin supplement .
