What Causes Numbness And Tingling In The Arms?

I have had a pain in the base of my skull and numbness and tingling in my arms when I wake with pain through my neck (as mentioned). I have had pain between my neck and top of arm since June - which is better because of accupuncture and pills - diazipan, (taken) given anatriptalin, anti inflamitaries, pain killers (taken) often and finaly given extra strong painkillers - ok, so now the pain in mainly in one area with stiffness in my neck and pain when looking up. and at night.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to cervical radiculopathy or a pinched nerve.
I suggest using to continue using the painkillers to treat the pain.
If the symptoms continue you should consult a neurologist for further evaluation.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
