Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
The
numbness of arms denotes a dysfunction of the nerves in the arms.
We need to exclude a diagnosis of
carpal tunnel syndrome, where the
median nerve gets compressed at the level of wrist. The diagnosis can be confirmed by doing nerve conduction studies.
There are good medicines to treat this condition, and hence, there is no need to worry.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
