I have had tingling in both arms for several weeks now and it seems to be getting more severe, should I got to the doctor?
Hello Edward,
Yes, definitely, and I'd see your doctor rather than a chiropractor. Why, you may well ask?
Firstly, if you have a new problem, something quite unfamiliar, and it doesn't pass over in a relatively short period, say a week, perhaps, then it's best to get a professional opinion.
Secondly, you can play wait and see if you have neck or back pain, they are very common, but if it radiates down a limb, then it's best not to wait.
And thirdly, if it's in both arms, then further tests are needed, and hence my recommendation that you see your doctor.
Let us know what comes of it.
Dr B
