Husband came come after full day of work.

On way home he said his left arm went numb. Like pins and needles.

Hopefully its nothing. But for your peace of mind it wouldnt hurt to have it checked out. Had a Dr years ago that told me if in doubt check it out. Always followed his advice.☺

Absolutely have him seen ASAP, if you haven't already! A person's arm going numb suddenly, with no warning needs to be evaluated by a medical pro. With no grip, that is not good. It could be something serious, or maybe not. Irregardless, it needs to be evaluated. Is it still numb, with pins & needles sensations? If he refuses to go, ask medics to come out and evaluate him, because this symptom should not be disregarded, in my opinion.

Try to talk him into being seen ASAP! Hopefully it's nothing to be concerned about, but much better safe then sorry!

If he has Ataxia it's apart of it, the pins and needle feel. You can also Google signs of pins and needles mean. You might get an answer.

Not what you're looking for?
