General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Numbness in the arm indicates possible nerve compression at the level of shoulder or down. In my clinic, after thorough surgical evaluation and sensory motor parameters examination, MRI may be a demand of time if your consultant agrees with the same.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
