What Causes Numbness And Tingling In Arms Along With Stiffness In Neck?
My secretary is experiencing a numb and tingling sensation in her left arm. Her neck is stiff and bothering her. She was working o a laptop in a different position than normal and I wonder of she is out of alignment. She is worried about a heart attack.
