My dad has both of his arms go numb or tingly. He's gone to the doctors, they said he had pneumonia, then he went back again and they said he didn't have that. They did an ultrasound on him and not much became of that. I just don't understand why BOTH arms would go numb. Hes been feeling sick too.
Please don't answer if its not about this and you don't actually think you can help.
Thanks.

Your father needs to get an MRI Test to determine what this problem is. have him request this test from his medical doctors. It could be the beginnings of MS or some other serious condition.

I just recently have experienced the same symptoms... scares the **** out of me. I'm 27. It just started happening to me yester day, and again today while driving a good distance from a conference. I had to stop every 30min or so, and then get out and walk for 15 to relieve it.... Any update on what is wrong? My dad is a doctor and says he has never heard of anything like this and said I should go to a major hospital when I get back...

I would say do not tell him while he is still away as yes you are right he might worry a little. I would say a day or so after he returns I would tell him about the situation. It should not matter the religion or what nationality you are from if he loves you he will take this very seriously! This guy had no right to put his hands on you or make those kinds of advances at you! I would suggest you never again try to be put into a situation where you have to be alone with that creeper again!

Is he coughing and how is he sick? It could be he has a badly pinched nerve in his neck. Is his neck or upper spine tender to the touch and is he having headaches too? It sounds like he has more symptoms than the numbness. He needs another doctor's opinion. He could have two things going on at the same time. He needs blood work, a thorough check up and possibly a trip to a good chiropractor.
Next time, give us a little more info. Thanks and I will pray for him.

It is quite possible that the condition with his arms was brought on as a result of the nerve function from his cervical spine being inhibited by built up tension in the neck and upper shoulder area. ..... He may simply need some good therapeutic massage and or a chiropractor to loosen things up a bit.

could be a problem with a disc problem in his neck.The nerves cause numbness and tingling .Maybe he should do an MRI in the neck area.It happened to me10 yrs ago and went away so i didn't need surgery .90 % of th time the person wont need surgery but it a good idea to find out why.

I have problems with my arms going numb too. When I get massages every 4 -6 weeks (sports-deep tissue- NOT spa massages) it helps a great deal. They have to massage under my shoulder blades for it to really be effective.

It can a sign of many different things. He should see a neurologist. This will help determine if it is neurologically related. If not, this doctor will suggest who to see next. If he believes it is related to his also not feeling well, he should see another doctor then the one he has been seeing. More thorough tests should have been done from the beginning.

I've had both of my arms go numb and tingly before. I also was getting really dizzy. The doctor said it was a pinched nerve.
