What Causes Abnormal Sensation That Radiates From Spine To Arm?
Question: What causes hot needle like sensation that radiates from spine to arm and mid way to back of thigh?
Brief Answer:
Can be due to nerve irritation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The abnormal sensation radiating from the spine to the limbs is likely to be due to a minor nerve root irritation. This can happen due to age related degenerative changes of the spine.
It is best to start doing back strengthening exercises under the guidance of a physiotherapist and take methylcobalamin supplements for an improvement. Increasing your fluid intake will also help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
