Sensory neuropathy: When you feel a sensation that isn't really there, it means that the sensory nerves on your arms are sending an incorrect message to your brain - or they are sending the correct message and your brain is interpreting it wrong. The technical name is "small fiber sensory neuropathy", and you should visit a neurologist and find out what is causing it.
