Hi i have recurring numbness is my left arm. i get pins and needles and lose some feeing in my arm. it comes and goes but seems to be getting worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get proactive: Get EKG to be complete, as heart problems can involve left arm. But almost certainly, the symptoms are due to nerve pinching or compromise: most likely median or ulnar, but could consider neck or plexus location. A neurologist can pinpoint, and EMG could confirm.
