What would be causing my right arm to be going numb?
441101
any kind of trauma recently to the arm or to your neck can cause the numbing. any decrease in sensation or strength to the arm, if so you could have a pinched nerve. a spasm of a muscle can cause compression of the nerves that innervate your arm.

No it isn't strictly normal but equally is something that does occaionally occur.  You should go back and consult your doctor and ask for their advise as to the best route forwards.  Possible repeat xrays or more physio or even acupuncture.  Whatever you decide make sure you don't just sit it out, if I had done that i would have lost the use of my left arm!!!

most likely its  a blood vessel breaking in your neck causing a flow of blood to the region... tingling. Or its a pinched nerve.

What side of the bed do you wake up on? If its the same side that your leg is numb then the answer to your problem is that you sleep on that side all night,causing it to go numb.\nWhen you sleep on one side all night you restrict the blood flow going to that area, hence pins and needles or a dead feeling. Try going to sleep in another position if not doing some stretches when you wake up. Let me know how you go...

Depends on your symptoms and other findings. Herniated disks in and of themselves may or may not be clinically significant (studies have shown Disc abnormalities in 40-60% of aymptomatic subjects). Do you have pain? Radiating pain to an arm? Numbness, tingling, or weakness?\n\nIf you have pain only or pain and mild to moderate arm pain or numbness, with no weakness or other abnormalities, then physical therapy, chiropractic, and analgesics should do the trick, and the symptoms will probably improve over time. Make sure you follow your doctors' recommendations. \n\n(The above was not offerred as, nor should  be construed as specific medical advice or a substitute for examination by a physician or other health care provider.

This sounds like poor circulation on the left side of your body.  It could even be vindictive of something more serious, just as a brain injury, tumor, or nervious disorder such as muscular distrophy or parkinson's disease.  Don't just sit around and wait for it to go away, because you could have a claught which can be life threatening.  Goto your doctor, and like as soon as you can.  This could be life threatening, or not, don't panic just seek some professional advice.

i would say that the tingling is definitely caused from the knitting.....it isnt nessacarily carpal tunnel yet but could get that way over time.....i would suggest just knitting a small amount everyday....like give yourself an hour (or less) and take breaks in between time! maybe that will help....good luck!

Its a very good possiblilty that it is a pinched nerve, most likely somewhere in your neck or shoulder.  This is the most likely reason for the numbness, unless you experience chest pain or tightness i would rule out any heart related issues.

As far as i know, numbness can only be due to 2 reasons, diabetics or lack of blood circulation.well, I suppose i could cross out the first posibility here.Problems with blood circulation do not require surgery nor can it kill you with a problem like this. Try not to wear socks while sleeping.Avoid shoes at home.Your legs need to breath.If there is something heavy on your legs, it could cause the blood circulation to stop.Try taking a warm shower before sleeping.Some postures could also stop the circulation, maybe you don't have enough movement during sleep. Try to avoid these postures while sleeping. I hope you feel better!\n\nFor serious numbness, you can check out these websites, but i don't suppose you have those problems.

you may have some swelling (whether you can see it or not).  this can cause numbness by putting pressure on the nerves.  Suspect it would go away.  If it lasts longer than 2 weeks it could be direct nerve injury...but I wouldnt think so.

could be carpal tunnel.  see a doctor

Yes, allergy or diseases causing allergic-like symptoms (such as mast cell diseases) can cause the numbness. I have experienced this many times, sometimes in conjunction with headache, swollen eye, stuffy sinus, sore throat, ear pain, loss of hearing, and even swollen lip, all on one side of my face only. The weirdest is the half throat soreness, it feels like you can draw a line right down the middle and one side doesn't hurt at all while the other side is so painful it hurts to swallow. \n\nIt is extremely important, as others have suggested, to have this checked out, since some very serious conditions can cause this as well, including Bell's Palsy, stroke, transient ischemic attack, heart disease, and even migraine. If it allergy related, it could lead to anaphylactic shock, so be aware and don't shrug it off when it happens.

There are two possible causes for the sore to occur at your right \nshoulder blade area. \nThe first cause is due to the heavy load which you carry on your\nright shoulder which has strained or injured the muscles;\nThe second could be a 'pinched nerve' which runs from the\nneck to shoulder to arm and hand. This nerve which is 'trapped'\ncould cause extreme pain to the shoulder.\nIn any case, it's best you seek a doctor who is a neurologist physician - he's the right person to help you.

I don't know if all of your symptoms are possibly related, but I would request an MRI.  It sounds neuronal (nerve pain). You know when you hit your funny bone? That's actually the ulnar nerve... that feeling of pins/needles could be a compression or it could be a blockage in the vascular system (blood).\n\nI would get both a EEG and an MRI. Don't ignore symptoms. If you are overweight it could be a sign of some sort of blockage in your brain!

Could be circulation problems, numbness in the fingers could be Carpal Tunnel but since you have it in your toes as well, I would tend to think that it's circulation.  Could be something more seriuos though; check with your doctor.

2 years ago for me. and i think there is no cure, for the pain either. my right hand gets numb and stays tingly most of the day. i just get used to it.

I would advise you to see a doctor soon because blocked leg arteries are dangerous when you are sitting on a plane for several hours because it can cause numbness.
