Brief Answer:
More information needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your query and understand your concerns.

Tingling and numbness in hands, arms and feet may be caused by nerve compression, but also can be caused by peripheral neuropathy.

Symptoms caused by nerve compression are generally located in one side, manifest a nerve distribution fashion, they can be located in both sides, but differ in intensity from side to side, pain also is a common finding.

Symptoms caused by peripheral neuropathy manifest with symmetric distribution in limbs like boots in feet and gloves in hands.

I need to ask you more information regarding to your symptoms (distribution, intensity, worsening and relieving factors), any drugs used, and if it is possible to upload any imaging studies you had done, general health condition too.

Basically, two are most probable conditions as causes of your symptoms:1. degenerative and herniated spinal cord disease and 2.peripheral neuropathy.

Awaiting for more information.......
