What Causes Tingling Numbness In The Entire Left Arm?

My left fingers starting tingling/prickling and going numb a few years ago but it was on and off and not very often. The past three weeks my entire left arm tingles and goes numb several times a day specifically on the radial side. There is also a burning sensation in my left bicep/tricep area and left shoulder blade area that sometimes happens at the same time. If my arm is out in front of me or if I have my elbow bent and up on desk it will go numb start tingling almost instantly. I thought maybe it was the way I slept one night but it has not subsided. Please advise.

Hello,

Kindly, find out if you have any brachial plexus injury or not which is causing you these symptoms.

If you have a cervical rib or something which is causing you these injuries, then it will become even worse. So get it examined. If it is not then, this is due hyperactive nerves.

You take Neurobion forte drug which will cure the nerves and heal the nerves which might have been damaged due to any reason. Kindly evaluate once with any general practitioner of the brachial plexus injury.

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

Regards,
Dr. Archana
