Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Tingling and numbness in arm seems to be due to disc prolapse.A course of Muscle relaxants, interferential therapy (IFT) and/or Intermittent Cervical Traction (ICT) for a week followed by exercises will help you.
Do not worry this will not complicate hip replacement surgery. you can go for it.
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

Tingling and numbness in the arm could be related to cervical disc disease wherein the protruded disc will be causing compression over the nerve root resulting in symptoms. This can be diagnosed by having an MRI scan of cervical spine.

Conservative line of management for this problem includes -

Rest: A soft cervical collar is advisable. It should not be used for more than a week or two as it may worsen the condition with prolonged usage.

Medicines: Analgesic are needed in the acute phase. Muscle relaxants are essential for relieving muscle spasms once the acute pain subsides. Neurotropic vitamins like METHYLCOBALAMINE (activated Vit B12) or PREGABALIN will help in alleviating the neuropathic pain.

Cervical traction: may enlarge the disc space, permitting the prolapse to subside. Intermittent cervical traction for not more than 30 minutes at a time. Weight upto 8kg can be added.

Physiotherapy: Once the acute phase of pain has subsided, Isometric strengthening exercises of the paravertebral muscles are started. Moist heat can be useful

Epidural steroids: are useful for patients with severe radicular pains in the limbs

Your Hip replacement surgery has got nothing to do with your existing problem. So go ahead.

Hope this information is helpful. Good day
