What Could Numbness And Tingling Arms Suggest?

Hi, I have been having numbness and tingling down my left arm when I bend at the waist (like to touch my toes or pick something up). This also occasionally happens when I am sitting down. My first thought was a pinched nerve, but I have no back or neck pain whatsoever. I am an otherwise healthy 47 year old woman and weigh 51kg.

Hi,

I have gone through your query.

If you have normal blood sugar levels then cause of your symptoms is probably due to disc bulge in cervical spine or raised serum uric acid levels.

So get xray of cervical spine in AP and Lateral view, serum uric acid level and send me the report.

Till then you can take pregabalin 75mg at night.

Apply hot packs for 30 mins in morning and evening.

I hope you have got your answer.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
