What Causes Tingling In Fingers And Red Bump On Arm?
i donated blood last wednesday and had to do some heavy lifting the day after. I ended up with a small red bump on my arm days later and now my fingers are tingling and its been almost a week since I donated. Not sure if the finger tingling is related.

Hello,
Small red bump can be due to hematoma formation at the site of blood collection. If the red bump is at some other site then there may be other cause for it. Tingling sensation in fingers usually occurs due to compression or irritation of nerve. I suggest you to consult your physician for clinical assessment and relevant investigations.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
