What Causing Tingling Sensation In The Left Arm?

default
Posted on Tue, 17 Oct 2017
Question: I've had burning tingling feeling along my left arm for a couple weeks, when I move it or raise it or use it, I think now since I got a bougainvilla thorn prick in my left index finger, left side of nail, bit painful. when I removed thorn, I squeezed out pus. at first I thought it might be from overuse since I'm left handed and only thumb and first 2 fingers affected and have been doing a lot of pruning lately, squeezing cutter. aspirin helps more than ibuprofen, tried once or twice. concerned about possible nerve damage.
