What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Palm And Fingers?
Question: I have tingling in my left palm and fingers, also left lower lip in the left corner. Also this pm I've had a couple of episodes in my left foot/toes. I have osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. What can you tell me?
Brief Answer:
Compression neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis may compress peripheral nerves during their pathway near bones and joint, resulting this way in sensory symptoms, pain etc.
Another possible explanation of condition that may cause such symptoms is peripheral neuropathy, or damage of peripheral nerves by different causes such after viral infections, diabetes, low vitamin B12 in blood, heavy metals poisoning, thyroid gland and kidneys dysfunction etc.
It is necessary to get evaluated by your primary care Doctor and to get proper blood tests in order to narrow the possible causes and get a correct diagnosis.
Treatment depends on the cause.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if i can assist you further.
Greetings.
