Tingling sensation in left thumb for past several days?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nerve irritation: Tingling anywhere in your body is often due to irritation of a nerve. Tingling in the thumb can be the result of irritation of a nerve at the neck (c6 root), at the forearm/wrist (superficial radial nerve) or at the wrist/hand (median nerve). If symptoms last more than a couple of days, please see your doctor for an evaluation.
