What Could Be The Reason For Numbness, Tingling, Pain In Arm While Not Taking Any Other Medication Except Contraceptives?
Hi, I am a 23 year old female and have had a numb, tingly and sore arm since 3am this morning... its now 16:20. My arm felt normal for a couple of hours but the pain, numbness and tingles are back again. I am currently taking the contraceptive pill and have been doing so since September 2012. I am not on any other medications

Tingling and numbness may be due to sleeping with your shoulder in a certain position for long hours leading to compression of nerves. One thing I can assure you that it is nothing to do with contraceptive. Few more tips. Avoid using big pillow or long to sitting in front tv or laptop.
