A member asked:

Feel numbness/tingling in right thumb as well as some pain stiffness in the upper arm when bending, reaching behind back. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Disc or CTS: If the numbness is on the entire thumb, check your neck for pathology like a disc rupture. It the numbness is only on the palm side, consider carpal tunnel syndrome and a wrist brace.
