What Do Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Left Arm Indicate?

I have numbness and some tingling mostly in my left arm and hand. I have been going to PT but it actually seems to be making it worse than better. It is not constant and started at night a few weeks ago after someone hit me in the rear of my vehicle. It was not a major crash. It now happens in the day too.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to `Ask A Doctor` service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

* As per my surgical experience, the tingling sensation in the arm
indicate possible nerve compression underlying through carpel tunnel
or else.

* I recommend a detailed neurologic examination with an expert for
further course of action rather than neglecting the same.

Thanks.
