What Can Cause Tingling And Numbness In Hands?
I am 40 years old, a little overweight. I have had a lot of numbness / tingling / poor circulation in my hands, and painful glands in my throat when I swallow over the last 12 - 24 hours. Otherwise, generally well, no sore throat, runny nose etc. but have not had enough sleep over the last few days. Started a new job last week that involves some heavy lifting so thinking it's associated with my back?

Weight lifting, stressful job prones the patient to cervical spondylitis. Nerves get compressed in the neck and hands go numb or start having tingling sensation. Need to do regular neck exercises, apply soft cervical collar, neugaba M tablets at bed time, and avoid weight lifting
