A few weeks ago, I started getting tingling and pins and needles in my left hand and arm, followed by numbness.
Over the course of a month or so, my hand has now become almost completely numb, all of the time, with some lack of sensation also going up my arm.
In the past week, I've also begun to notice tingling in my feet and shins, with occasional numbness. I feel clumsier than usual and have tripped once or twice too.
Saw my doctor today and gave blood for a battery of tests, plus I must go for an x-ray of my neck vertebrae and shoulder next week.
Could be anything from trapped nerves or viral infection to full neurological problem. I won't know until they've ruled all the simplest explanations out.
But I'm a bit scared.

I suffered the same symptoms 4 years ago and I was worried sick....how old are you? do you drink a lot of caffeine?
