I have this swelling in my shoulder that is being investigated. MRI inconclusive and waiting to speak to consultant.
Ar night I’ve noticed I have been getting a lot of numbness/ tingling in both my arms. This evening I woke up and my opposite hand to the lump was completely numb for 5 minutes. Has anyone else experienced similar?
my appointment is on Monday with the consultant but am unsure if I need to speak to someone sooner about this
Hi Anaworried welcome to the forum. It sounds like that numbness may be from nerve involvement which can result in a numb feeling but I'm not sure why it would occur on the other side. I'm waiting to see someone after a fall and my arm goes numb but I have seen a physio who has confirmed the numbness is because of nearby nerve involvement. If you are at all worried and this persists then I would give 111 a call and get checked out.
