WELCOME to the Neuropathy group... For all those who have all types of Nerve Damage and PAIN! A GREAT PAIN resource area! Over 100 photos and 25 research topics on specific pain issues.
It all started with a pain in my neck and then a few days later a tingling irritating sensation going down my right arm.
Went to the GP after a few weeks as I thought it would fix itself. I saw the locum and he made me put my hands behind my head and because i could do this he put it down to strain as I am a masseur, he said it is posibly to do with my posture.
Four weeks later still not getting any better seems worse so i demanded that I have an MRI on my cervical spine next Tuesday he thinks it could be a trapped nerve. Results are available between 5-7 days.
Does anyone else have this. I have to sleep with the offending arm under my pillow or i cannot stop the tingly pain??????
You need to get a MRI of your cervical. What part of the arm is numb? I have radiculopathy from a bulging disk in my C6/C7 area. The area it affects is top of the shoulder, front of arm, down to thumb, and index finger.
As you know, doing your job will put a lot of strain on your neck too, leaning over all day, so that might be what got the neck going...
Ask for a referral to a Orthopedic doctor, he will have a better idea. A Neurologist can do a nerve conduction study and see if the nerve pathway is obstructed, so that might be the first option.
Good luck!
