What Do Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Arm Indicate?
I have a large (5 inch) oval bruise like mark on the back of my upper arm. There looks like there is a tiny hole (possibly bug bite?) at the top of bruising. It looks like a bruise, feels tender like a bruise, but is slightly raised/swollen (unlike a bruise). It started last night and has gotten larger since then (maybe 3 inches & is now about 5). I don t feel sick or have any symptoms except the tenderness of area and a little bit of numbness, tingling in my arm. Should I go to the emergency room now? Or wait until tomorrow to see if swelling has spread or stopped?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Numbness and tingling sensation could be due to peripheral neuropathy. Would advise you to take gabapentin group of drugs twice daily for 3 months.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
