What Is Causing Pain, Numbness, Weakness or Tingling in My Arms and Legs?
Pain, numbness, tingling, or a pins and needles feeling in your arms or legs could be symptoms of an underlying nerve issue. When a nerve is irritated, injured, or compressed, it can cause symptoms that affect the peripheral nervous system. There are many reasons a nerve could be injured or pinched, and Dr. Jay Schwartz at SunCoast SpineCare: Chiropractic Neurology can get to the root cause of your symptoms. Dr. Schwartz will run tests and perform a comprehensive examination to determine what is causing nerve damage. Dr Schwartz will then create a highly successful neuropathy treatment in Bradenton, FL.
Herniated Disc
A herniated disc is a spinal condition caused by damage or rupturing of one of the discs between the vertebrae in your spine. When a disc is damaged, ruptured, or moves out of place, it can put pressure on one of the nerves in or around your spine. Nerve compression or irritation can cause nerve pain, numbness, tingling, and a pins and needles feeling that spreads along the length of the nerve.
Bone Spur or Cyst
A bone spur or cyst can form on the spine and cause nerve irritation when it compresses nerves or blood vessels. You might develop pain, numbness, or tingling in your back, neck, arms, or legs. You might also have muscle weakness, muscle cramps or spasms, loss of balance or coordination, and pain that radiates along the path of the nerve.
Poor Posture or Spinal Misalignment
Poor posture and spinal misalignment can put pressure on the nerves and muscles that surround your spine. Over time, these muscles and nerves can become weakened, compressed, or irritated. You may experience nerve pain in multiple areas of your body, as well as muscle stiffness, loss of flexibility or range of motion, trouble walking or standing, and numbness or tingling in your limbs.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy or diabetic neuropathy can also cause nerve pain, numbness, and tingling. Neuropathy affects the feet and legs first, and then the hands and arms. You might develop a wide range of symptoms that worsen over time, including numbness, tingling, nerve pain, muscle weakness, and trouble sensing temperature changes.
