I have muscle pain in the upper part of my left arm, yesterday I had som pins and needles in the hand. I notice that in the mornings I m fine but as the day goes on it gets worse. It s difficult tall asleep but if I sleep on my left side(the side with the arm pain) I can fall asleep because the pain seems less.i have a few herniated disks in the lower part of my spine. I m wondering if I need to see a chiropractor

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have muscle pain in upper arm along with pins and needles in hand . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like abnormal levels of vitamin B12 or other vitamins, potassium, calcium, or sodium , poor blood supply to the affected area , herniated disk in your spine , pressure on your nerves diabetes or transient ischemic attack , cervical problem or stress . Massage with sesame oil will help alot. I would suggest you to put your hand in hot water tun with epsom salt for 15 minutes daily , drink plenty if water , eat healthy and do light exercise . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination rule out any psychological problem and treatment . Doctor may recommend physical therapy along with vitamin supplement .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
