What Causes Sharp Pain And Numbness In The Right Arm?
last night I was sitting on the couch reading and all of a sudden I had a shape pain on my right arm and it went numb. and the pain was pulsating. it felt like my circulation was gone but I had pain in my entire arm shooting up to my shoulder and under my arm pit. the pain was for hours . I am sorry I thought this was just a free site. I probably do need to go to the doctor write away. I have no money or credit card. My Apologies Doctor.

Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to nerve compression at cervical spine level.
For that you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally.
For further assessment you may require MRI neck and nerve conduction studies after consultation.
You may require tablet Pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation.
Do regular physical therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
