What Causes Pinching Of Nerves In Arms?
Hi, I have several pinched nerves in both my arms and my doctor said it was due to the nodules I have on my thyroid. It seems to be traveling to my legs now. I had a 12 needle biopsy that was messed up and I never went back for another. The nodules were 3cm , 2cm, and less. Do you agree with my doctor?

Hi,
Thyroid nodules do not cause pin and prick sensation or parasthesia in arms, the common cause is compression of nerve in your neck, get your MRI of neck done. It will also give details of your nodule.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
