What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Shoulder?
I have a tingling sensation with numbness that starts at the top of my left shoulder and travels into my thumb and index finger. At first I thought it was a pinched nerve, but this has been going on for about 3 weeks straight. Should I be worried and is there anything I can do at home?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Tingling sensation in the shoulder, arm and hand could be due to a nerve root irritation in the cervical spine. To exactly diagnose this problem, you need a MRI scan. Momentarily, take daily supplementation of Vit B2,B6 & B12 to suppress the symptoms of tingling in the arm
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
