Question: numbness & tingling in left hand and arm specially first three fingers.

Brief Answer:
Carpal tunnel syndrome to consider.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

First condition to consider is carpal tunnel syndrome, or compression of the median nerve at the wrist.

Second condition that may cause your symptoms is pinched nerve at cervical spine level by disorders such degerative spine disease, herniated disc disease, etc.

Getting evaluated by a Neurologist is necessary as a first step in understanding better your condition.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Kind regards.

If cervical spine is the most likely origin, TENS may help.
