Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Burning sensations in the hands and up the left arm is suggestive of a
nerve root compression at the cervical
vertebral level due to degenerative disc changes or
cervical spondylosis. The other symptoms can be related to injury to the back or
spinal cord, Lack of blood supply to the legs as a result of plaque formation in the blood vessels, diabetes, stroke, multiple
sclerosis and underactive thyroid. Abnormal levels of calcium, potassium, or sodium in your body and a lack of
vitamin B12 can also cause such sensations.
We need to confirm the diagnosis by getting your blood sugar levels, EKG heart, vitamin B 12 levels and a neurological examination from a
neurologist done. You should eat a healthy diet consisting more of meat and non veg products which are sources of vitamin B 12. If you are a vegetarian then you can take vitamin B 12 supplements after consulting your physician.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
