This page deals with the same sort of problem (except this guy had the sensory problem in his right hand).

[color=#804080]I have started having not only numbness but also burning in my left hand. My hand is really hot. Ths nervous system of mine is driving me nuts! Can anything be done for this?

My numbness is on the move! My left forearm and hand and now my right forearm and hand. My PCP said its part of my nameless condition. I just don't like the fact it has progressed since Friday, plus it is most distracting. He suggested if it continues I go to the ER but I made far too many visits there the first five months of this year and want nothing to do with it. What should I look for beyond the numbness to convince me to make an ER visit?

The coldness and heat in my hands, forearms, and now upperarms is small fiber neuropathy, a real bummer. Anyone else out there with it?

This could be a sign of an injury to the spinal cord or neck. My mother was involved in a car accident and she broke her neck. She occasionally has numbness in her arms and hands as a result of the injury. Her Doctor told her that he wanted to do another surgery to fuse more vertebrae in her neck, and hopefully correct the problem.

Hi,
There are many possible causes of numbness and tingling:

Sitting or standing in the same position for a long time
Injuring a nerve (a neck injury may cause you to feel numbness anywhere along your arm or hand, while a low back injury can cause numbness or tingling down the back of your leg)
Pressure on the nerves of the spine, such as from a herniated disk
Pressure on peripheral nerves from enlarged blood vessels, tumors, scar tissue, or infection
Shingles or herpes zoster infection
Lack of blood supply to an area (for example, from atherosclerosis or frostbite)
