pins & needles

[[LittleMonster]]

I keep getting pins and needles In my left arm.. I had blood tests and few weeks ago which were fine and my reflexes were checked so what could be causing this??

[Cacoethes]

Could it be a damaged nerve? Have you had any injuries to that arm at all?

I get pins and needles a lot in one arm and it's down to nerve damage.

Are the pnis and needles there all the time or only on and off. Do you have problems with anxiety as during this people accidentally hold their breath or breathe too rapidly both which can cause that sensation. You can also get them if you are not well enough hydrated.

Don't think I've hurt my arm.
I do have issues with hydration though so I guess that could be it thanks

Sorry, as you've seen a Doctor regarding this (I imagine that's what the bloods and reflex tests were related to) then we can't answer this question here as it contravenes the following rule

Due to this I am now going to close this thread. Feel free to PM me to discuss this decision further and if you saw a doctor for something other than this then I will consider re opening the thread if you tell me why you had a doctor do the bloods/ reflexes on you if it wasn't related to this.
