What Causes Tingling Sensation In Fingers And Feet?

I have developed numbness and tingling in my finger tips. Have lower back problems as I broke my back as a teenager and have arthritis. I am on thyroid meds for Graves Disease which was treated with radioactive iodine in 2011. I also have a low immune system (low igg antibody) and have frequent infections. Should I be concerned with my new tingling sensation in my fingers and feet.

Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.

Tingling in the extremities are a common feature and usually temporary and benign. Still, since you have a rich medical history I recommend you to schedule a Neurological consult and a electromyogram plus a nerve conduction study to better evaluate if the tingling is a serious feature.

Basically you should not worry because it is very common but still you should consider a neurological consult.

Hope this helps

Wish you the best health
