What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Elbow After Plasma Donation?

I donated plasma about ten days ago,; (5th time in 2 months). Never had a problem until now it has been tickling from elbow to fingertips. However I also began taking some meds about two weeks in. Am I going to have to go see Dr. and if so am I in danger now by not seeing one sooner? Please help w/ some facts if possible. Thank you. Sincerely Ms. C. Burchfield

Hi there.

You could be experiencing nerve compression in the region around your elbow or in the neck. I advise you to apply warm compress in the region of the pain. around the elbow. Avoid lifting weights and keeping the arm in any uncomfortable position. Get tested for Diabetes and Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) as advised by your Orthopaedic surgeon or Neurologist.
