A member asked:
What could be causing upper left arm prickling/goosebumps/fuzzy sensation/slight pins and needles that is gradually getting more intense and frequent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pinched nerve: Symptoms of numbness and tingling are signs of some sort of neurological problem. In the upper arm, this could be due to a problem at the root of nerve, like a radiculopathy, or can be from inflammation of the nerve in the shoulder region. A comprehensive neurological examination and further history would be useful.
