What Causes Persistent Pricking Sensation In The Right Arm?
I have constant pins and needles sensation in my right arm. At times very intense. Numbness in my right hand and fingers. This has been ongoing for two + weeks. Just prior to this, I woke up with a pain in my right shoulder, the the pins and needles started. I have not lost any strength in my arm or hand.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
I also recommend cool compresses for local application.
If the symptoms continue I suggest to see a neurologist.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
