Suggest Treatment For Tingling Sensation On The Arms And Elbows
I have had the following occur on 3 occasions. I have a tingling sensation in both arms simultaneously. It starts near my elbows and runs up into my shoulders. I develop a weakness in my upper body and need to rest for a few minutes. I then have some water and the sensation goes away in a few minutes.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hi, Thanks for your query. Due to compression of nerve root in cervical spine there is tingling numbness and pain associated with it. I will advise you to MRI cervical spine for better diagnosis.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic like pregabalin and methylcobalamin medication can be started consulting your doctor. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
