What Causes Tingling And Numbness In Arms And Hands?
Question: I'm a 22 year old female. Since 1 was 15 years old I have had pains, tingling in my arms and hands, it started in the lower part of my legs and now both legs and hands, some times the palms of my hands turn a faint bluish color that does not last long. Sometimes they hurt more right before I have a bowel movement, other times anytime during the day. The only time they don't hurt is when I. am running. Please tell me why.
I have been to the ER, Rheumatologist, sports physician and have had numerous blood test an MRI as well. Only to be told (stress, Lyme disease, blood clots) all results have come back negative.
