Question 1

is left hand and foot tingling usually serious?

Accepted Answer

I would see: A doctor it's a sign of neuropathy. Potentially you could lose motor function as well. That would make it serious for me.

Question 2

left scapula and left anterior chest pain with deep breath and certain shoulder movement assoc with left hand and left foot tingling, left arm ache???

Accepted Answer

Musculoskeletal: It is impossible to diagnose based on this information, but the description is most compatible with a musculoskeletal problem, from arthritis in the shoulder to stress injury from moving, lifting, weights, etc. If it worsens, or if you develop dull chestpain, fever, or shortness of breath, see your doctor!

Question 3

Yes: It is possible. Seeing a neurologist and discussing a test called emg-ncv may be helpful in figuring out your condition.

Tingle &amp; Num: It is important to get this checked by your doctor.  If something neurological he/she can help you identify and treat it. You may be referred to a neurologist. Peace and good health.

Question 6

hands & feet tingling for 6 mos gradually gone away. left w/painless muscle twitching all over. coordination's good head mri normal. likeliness of ms?

Accepted Answer

Not certain: You need a full evaluation, a neurology consultation and maybe a spinal tap. This may be paresthesias and benign fasiculations.

Question 7

been waking up to an overall tingling sensation across my body.  it subdues when i get up but i still feel a slight sensation in my left hand and foot?

Accepted Answer

Check the neck: Your discription is vague...Do your sx's affect your head, scalp or face?..If not i would assess the cervical spine with neuro-imaging such as MRI as well as flexion/extension views of the cervical spine to assess for instability or advanced djd.

Question 8

what does consistent rls symptoms in my left hand and foot mean? earlier, it would alternative and only come at night, now it's only in left and all the time. by rls, i mean pulling/burning/ticklish feeling, not tingling/pins & needles sensation

Accepted Answer

Neurologist: Such symptoms may be caused by peripheral neuropathy or a lesion in the right side of the brain in the cortex. Multiple sclerosis, calcium or magnesium deficiency are less likely a cause unless other parts of the body are also involved. A neurologist is best qualified to evaluate and advise you. Appropriate tests will be ordered.

Question 9

headaches, front of head, all day. random tingling in left hand and foot. single twitches in left shoulder, hand, leg, and foot. what is going on?

Accepted Answer

Probably ok: Based on your age, there's probably nothing to worry about.  However, i would see your doctor and ask to be referred to a neurologist for an exam.  He will probably order an MRI of the brain to double check for any problems (if your exam is entirely normal, he may not order any testing, but just monitor your symptoms).

Question 10

i have had tingling in my left hand and weakness when grabbing or lifting something. no pain. but very unsettling. i have had some tingling the other hand but off and on and not as much. also some tingling in my left foot and some weakness. worried?

Accepted Answer

Tingling: Tingling is less of a concern when it happens on both sides of the body . Since you describe tingling AND weakness on the left side (both hand and foot),  you should have this evaluated by a neurologist at your convenience.
