Question 2

waking up with dull ache or pain and pins and needles in my right arm. goes mostly when i get up but if evident on occasions during the day ?

Accepted Answer

Pinched nerve?: can be any number of things ranging from a pinched nerve in the neck to a pinched nerve at the elbow or wrist. Most likely the latter I.e. carpal tunnel syndrome- particularly if you shake your hand for relief, it spares your little finger and you get it while you are driving. Check with your primary doctor or an orthopedist. If it is significant, you might be referred for electrical studies

Accepted Answer

Maybe CTS: You describe typical features of nocturnal symptoms of early carpal tunnel syndrome.  A rather benign problem which can easily be treated, and worthwhile to get this addressed.  Wearing a wrist splint at night might fully control your symptoms.

Eye Specialist ...: Anxiety is not an unusual response for one who cannot see well and stumbles because of that. Seeing an Eye Specialist Ophthalmologist is crucial at this point. Seeing optician for glasses alone is Not enough. Needles &amp; pins sound like Neuropathy. Is one Diabetic? Check with PCP. Meanwhile adding Vitamin B-Complex (B-50 or B-100)  can help.

Possible stroke: If they suddenly came on and have persisted this may be a sensory type of stroke.  You should head to an ER.

Question 7

why do i always keep getting pins and needles feeling in my right hand and arm?

Accepted Answer

Probably nerve: Most common source of never compression in the upper extremity is carpal tunnel syndrome, where the median nerve is compressed at the wrist. It will cause tingling in the thumb, index and long finger and may cause pain in the arm as well. It also could be a nerve pinched at the elbow or possibly a pinched nerve in the neck. This should be evaluated and you likely need an emg/ncv to diagnose.

Question 8

getting pins and needles and get lame  in my right arm and severe headaches all the time and my right leg does the same what could be the cuase of this. went to go see a doctor and she dont know all she said its tension my blood pressure was taken?

Accepted Answer

Neurologist helps: The neurologist can evaluate and may order a head scan. Sometimes migraines have these symptoms. Because symptoms of hemiplegic migraine are similar to those of a stroke and epilepsy, a hemiplegic migraine attack can be quite scary. Proper diagnosis and treatment are needed, and a neurologist is the specialist in migraines, strokes, and epilepsy.
