Tingling Feeling In Right Arm And Right Side Of The Back. What Could It Be?
Question: I have a tingling feeling going down the right arm and right side of the back when I move my neck and look down, sometimes I have a constant tingling feeling in my right arm. Can you help in telling me what this is ?
Brief Answer:
Cervical spondylosis is a possibility
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
With the description that you had given cervical spondylosis or nutritional causes could be my judgement. I suggest you to get an Xray Cervical spine after reviewing with the primary care doctor there. Hemoglobin, Blood counts and serum vitamin levels of Vit B1, B12, Vit D and Calcium are also helpful.
Your doctor can thoroughly examine the sensory and motor functions of the arm to understand nerve impingement. Take help from a diet expert to include the above vitamins.
Let me know your other concerns.
