can a rotator cuff injury cause tingling in my arm and wrist?

Question

What can cause wrist pain and arms and legs tingling?

Answer 1

Could be from neck: I see many patients with rotator cuff tears that also have numbness, tingling, and even weakness below the shoulder into the arm, forearm, and wrist/hand. The neurological symptoms below the shoulder notoriously arise from an ongoing neck problem such as a pinched nerve within the cervical spine.

Answer 2

Cuff pain: Classicl symptoms associated with a rotator cuff injury include us deltoid pain referred into the upper arm. Pain worsens with reaching and lifting, and frequently patiemtsncomplainmof worsening pain at night. Tingling and/or numbness is associated with nerve compression, which can occur in the neck or the arm.

Answer 3

Antihistamine: Like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and apply ice to the region.

Answer 4

Benadryl (diphenhydramine) : Try Benadryl (diphenhydramine) both topically and by mouth. Ice and elevation can help.

Answer 5

Insect bites: It could be any insect bite. See the doctor if it does not clear up in few days. If it is itchy you can try Hydrocortisone cream and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) by mouth.

Answer 6

Trauma or Allergies: It could be an allergic reaction or signs of trauma (small bruises.) see your md to be safe.

Answer 7

Consult your physici: Consult your physician. He/she will probably can pinpoint the possible cause/causes after questioning and examining you. You might need labs or other studies to confirm or rule out diseases.

Answer 8

Carpal tunnel: Your symptoms could indicate carpal tunnel. If you do alot of typing, writing or anything that entails alot of wrist/ elbow movement then it is a possibility. You can try to use wrist brace and see if that helps. These days xbox, ps3, txt msging on small phone screens can all cause it..

Answer 9

See below: Do you type? One possibility is carpal tunnel syndrome or other nerve impingement syndrome affecting the nerves that lead to you hand. These are usually due to overuse where the nerve area is inflamed and this pain results. See you doctor.

Answer 10

Doctor can evaluate: Is chronic wind the stomach gas & bloating, with a need to burp? Or, is chronic wind the intestinal gas, with a need to pass gas via the anus (fart)? Stomach gas and heartburn (reflux) can cause chest pains. Chest pains can also be spasms in the esophagus or angina pain (as in heart attack pain). The aorta is also in the chest. Pains going down the arms can also be effects on spinal cord nerves.
