| | Paraesthesia and NumbnessWritten by Dr. Michael L. Johnson
Numbness and tingling are abnormal sensations felt anywhere in body. Most commonly, they can be perceived in hands, arms, legs or feet. The feeling of numbness or tingling is a signal unrecognized by brain and signals that something is wrong. The problem can come from a nerve impingement as it exits spinal column or peripheral stimulus being muddled before or after brain receives information.Most frequently, problems coming from neck (cervical spine) result in a wide variety of symptoms. Pain, ache, numbness, and tingling are a few of sensations interpreted by brain. Actually, sensations are warning signals to brain that something is wrong. Numbness in one of extremities is most common problem that can be equated with a peripheral neuropathy, more commonly called a “pinched nerve." Technically, a nerve does not really get “pinched," but it is word that makes sense to most people. However, actual feeling of a peripheral neuropathy in arms and hands can really feel like something is being pinched.
