Pins And Needles.
48 Answers
For the last few weeks I have been having waves of pins and needles all down my left arm. Sometimes quite strong other times a bit lighter. Happens quite often, about 5-10 minutes apart. Also both thumbs have gone dead. Very annoying when trying to turn pages in the newspapers. I did look on line and it mentioned could be heart related.
Had to go o doctors to hand a specimen in so asked if I could see a doctor.
When I explained why she said can you come back at 5.15. Gosh that had me surprised. When I got there the doctor gave me a going over. Said I had a heart murmur. Gave me an appointment for Friday to have an ECG.
Has anyone else had anything like this before?

I had pins and needles mainly down my left arm and numbness in my fingertips and my MRI showed that the problem was coming from my C-spine

I think it can be the start of many things, the more you read into it the more you worry about it. I had much the same on and off.When i was taking to a much older guy than me about it, he said it could be the start of Arthritis because thats how his started.But I really dont know. Just dont read to much into it before you've seen someone.Good luck.
