A member asked:

My symptoms are:- top of head feels numb. my upper arms feel really weak like i've been doing heavy exercise. hands tingle. forearms ache.

Need eval: Symptoms could be due to cervical spine problem with pressure on nerve roots or spinal cord compression. With the head numbness a cerebral problem needs to be excluded. This should be evaluated.
