What Causes Numbness Of The Arms In An Arteriosclerosis Patient?
Hi,I am 48 and I have arteriosclerosis and also known as the widow maker, I month ago I noticed pain in my left wrist and my veins popping out and on my wrist by my thumb a veins that is shaped as a hoop that I never noticed before I noticed a sharp piercing pain in my wrist when I put my hand in the air to put my shirt on over my head and then the veins popping out and swelled up Usually its very hard to see my veins, so this is very unusual, well I woke up one night and my whole arm was dead I had no feeling in my hand and arm and I literally had to physically pick it up with my other hand to raise it up to start getting feeling back into it and I was not sleeping on it or anything. I went to the hosp and they took xrays and nothing broken, Well then I was laying there that night and i was messaging my wrist and something like a lump moved and some of the numbness went away now my other wrist is doing the same thing? Its like almost all my veins in my body are popping out more than usual and my wrist hurts to move it. Im not sure whats going on?

Hello, Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. We have to rule out possible causes like peripheral neuropathy and Ischemia. Detailed evaluation including nerve conduction study and Doppler are required to make a diagnosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
