Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Is The Cause For Tingling Numbness In The Right Arm?
I m a 37 year old male, 5 10 , 185, and I m having numbness on the right shoulder, arm and hand for about 48 hours. I have been clenching the right side of my jaw for about 2 months. About 2 months ago I finally stopped a cough that I had for three months. Should I see a doctor for this tingling numbness in my right arm?
Hello. Yes this needs to be evaluated and it's obviously a pinched nerve problem, most likely from a disc problem in your neck. I would start with an MRI scan of your cervical spine. This may respond to proper physical therapy and not need a surgical approach
