What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Fingers And Toes?

Yes: I have tingling sensation in my fingers and toes of both hands & feet and I get burning sensations like a sunburn on the top of both my legs and my forearms and back of my arms just above the elbow, I also get skin flushing in my forearms and face. I do have Rosacea so I am used to the skin redness on my face but never had it on my arms before. According to my blood tests I am in the normal zone for most of the tests, I was a little over on calcium this time, but I am assuming that is because I have been taking a lot of extra strength calcium antacids for heartburn.

Hi,

Well there can be many reason for symptoms you mention in queries like sign of nerve damage, repetitive stress, injuries, bacterial or viral infections, toxic exposures, and systemic diseases such as diabetes and peripheral neuropathy. There can be other reasons also like nerve entrapment, carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve palsy, hormonal imbalances and vitamin deficiencies (vitamin B1. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order a CT scan, ask for certain movements and complete blood tests. Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxants, recommend physical therapy of arm and hand along with stretching exercises and recommend particular stretching exercises.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
