What Does Pins And Needle Sensation On Hands With Red Spots Indicate?

For a few weeks now, I have the pins and needles sensation on my hands (on the side farthest from my thumbs), and on my fingers (my last three fingers). Where this sensation is there are also visible little red spots. I am a drummer, and I first started experiencing this after a practice. Could it possibly be nerve damage?

hi,

as you mentioned the abnormal sensation facing, it could be pinched nerve anywhere in its course. May be the cervical region or wrist region. As you are a drummer, it can be a RSI. also by performing the NCV it will rule out the nerve injury.

Once the injury is located, you need to perform some regular neck static exercises and also the upper limb as a hole. even to focus on strengthening the muscles of the wrist as it is more used while playing the drum. The movements is repetitive in the wrist region as ulnar and radial deviation.

also, if the symptoms increases you can take ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy for the same.

with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery.
