Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Loss of vibrating sensation and weakness of arms may have several causes.

These include polineuropathies ( damage of peripheral nerves from different diseases like Diabetes, autoimmune disorders, etc.) cervical compression syndrome, toxic effects of drugs and chemicals etc.

There is need for a careful neurological examination and tests in order to diagnose correctly your condition, that's why your Doctor asked a neurological opinion.

Hope this helps. Wishing you good health.
