Dear

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have numbness and tingling sensation in the forearm because of nerve impingement or pressure on ulnar nerve . Need not to worry about it. Visit neurologist once and get it examined to rule out nerve compression , neuralgia , carpal tunnel , cervical spondylosis or other conditions like neuropathy. Go for physical therapy of forearm muscles. Avoid lifting heavy objects and working for long time with that arm . If it is not due to nerve and due to deficiency of minerals and vitamins . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon .It could be related to stroke. Neurotropic medication such as nerve supplement , methylcobalamin is effective to improve your symptoms. Doctor may also refer you to neurologist .

Hope your concern has been resolved.


Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
