Is Mild Tingling In The Shoulder A Cause For Concern?

For a week or two I have been having tingling down the front side of my right shoulder and the tingling goes all the way to my thumb where it is more like pins and tingling. It comes and goes and writing or using the mouse seems to aggrivate it. My shoulder feels little stiff but not painful. I do physical work but don t recall any particular thing or action that might have started this.

Hello,

The history you mentioned is indicative of nerve root entrapment. You need to take an MRI of the neck and we can figure out the soft tissues and nerve roots involved and not involved.

Based on the physical examination by an orthopedist you will be advised to use the neck collar and undergo physical therapy who may teach you basic exercise for strengthening the group of muscles need attention.

In my clinical experience of 12 years, cases like yours respond well to physical therapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
