Title: Tingling in fingers and hands
Post by: Lauz7 on January 18, 2023, 09:37:50 AM
Another new thing today… really aching arms for last few days  (have had it before and comes and goes) and my hands and fingers have a vague tingling sensation.
Hormones?

I got that when my Oestrogen was low .. so, yes, possibly hormonal . x

Neck problems? Wear and tear on the neck vertebra can do this

Thank you. Am a bit lost with this.
Feeling it basically all of today in my arm and hands and fingers, a little bit on the other arm, and the odd bit on the face too.
Is this even normal?

I do. I get it a lot and then it suddenly goes and I forget about it until it returns.

Peri has all sorts of odd symptoms and I can understand you thinking there are other things going on. You can be sure no matter what symptom you have somebody will have mentioned it on here. :)

Severe burning tingling has been one of the worst peri symptoms here. But I’ve had hypothyroidism all my life and slight Raynauds. Hrt helped though I relapsed last Easter and I’ve been slowly increasing to much higher levels to try to get on top of it all.

B12 was really good.

Do see the Gp though as mine is equal. Could be carpel tunnel??

Yes have gp appt tomorrow and cannot wait because I feel like my body is not my own right now. So many unusual for me aches and pains and now the odd tingling in places and now I have given my self a headache with worry about it being something serious. It’s not fun! I just want to feel normal again.

Thanks Flossie
It’s a weird time right now. I don’t feel like I have any idea what my body is doing anymore and that’s a bit frightening.

Did you find the tingling lasts all day for a period of time? And then just goes?
Still have the odd armpit aches too. Shooting pain across breasts. Sounds hormonal I would say. But it’s scary. I do hope the doctor can shed some light.

Although it can be hormonal tingling like this is often linked to wear and tear in the neck.  Your doc may recommend a course of physio. Its always worth getting a new symptom checked out.

Yes I do. It will last all day and then suddenly just goes and then returns a while later. I wish you luck in your appointment.

Hello, hope you are ok. What you said about it being frightening not knowing what your body is doing any more/it’s not your own…..I do really identify with that.

You have 30 years of your life being ruled in every way by your hormonal schedule….and then it goes. The shock and upset is enormous!

I have found I am less bothered by strange symptoms and mad cycles nowadays….after several years of it maybe I’m getting used to the weirdness!

For what it’s worth, I do get weird tingling too….maybe hormonal but sometimes I can also track it down to neck/shoulder which I do have problems with anyway. A lot is to do with posture which is bad as I spend too much time staring at phone/tablet (called “tech neck” believe it or not!). I tracked a tingling little finger in left hand down to a classic postural thing in the elbow as that’s the hand I hold phone etc in. Change of posture…it went….it’s horrid though.
