tingling in the arm from shoulder to tip of fingers

I have a tingling and burning sensation from top of shoulder to tip of my fingers on my left. It's been going on for a month. I had a leg injury three months ago. What could it be?

Hello Aster,

The question is which fingers? If it's all your fingers, then think of a Thoractic Outlet Syndrome. If it's in the thumb, index, middle and possibly ring finger, think Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. If it's in the thumb and forefinger... you get it? It's complex and only a thorough and careful Chiropractic examination can tell where the tingling comes from.

It's unrelated to your leg injury, but it's possible that when your leg was hurt, you had an injury to the neck at the same time. Or the limping has upset your equilibrium.

So, start looking for a careful and thorough chiropractor. There's sure to be one around the corner. But do your homework, talk to friends and family, even your doctor.

I hope this has contributed.
