A member asked:
It feels like the circulation in my arms is somewhat cut off (like when you have a blood pressure cuff on), but my hands look pink and normal. ?

A good sign: Often times tingling sensations in the arms is related to the neck and shoulders, where many people carry stress. Muscles spasm when they are injured, acutely it chronically and this can lead to compression on the many nerves that supply the arms. A neurologist can confirm with an examination and also check your neck vertebrae to see if imaging is needed to rule out something more concerning.
