What Causes Numb Sensation From Underarm To Ribcage?
Hi I ve been having a numb sensation on the left side running down from my underarm to the bottom of my ribcage. The sensation is a tight numb feeling. I have had it for around 6 weeks of which I have refrained from strenuous activity. Any thoughts? Would be appreciated.

Hello,
You may be suffering from tendinitis of the left shoulder and rib cage soreness. However, as the symptoms of tingling and numbness are on the left side, I would recommend you to consult a physician. This is so that the physician can evaluate you and infer if the complaints are due to musculo-skeletal or other systems. In the meantime, avoid lifting and doing sternuous activities and consult a physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Santosh S. Jeevannavar, Orthopedic Surgeon
