What did the rheumatologist say when you saw them about the tingling when you saw them in November?

[Flosy in reply to piglette]

Hi.didnt see rheumatologist,about my tingling,spoke to Dr.he just nothing to worry about.

I too get tingling and semi numbness but in my right lower leg and foot. Physio said it's probably spine related as I have lumbar spondylitis and a crushed disc. Rheumy just ignores it. I think it's more to do with my knee, but who am I to know? Either way, like you, I am told it's nothing to worry about.

I get tingling in one of my hands. As it’s only one and it comes and goes, I’ve decided it’s probably nothing to worry about. It is annoying though especially at night.

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Hidden]

Which side? Thumb or pinky side?

[Flosy in reply to PMRpro]

Pinky side

It could be ulnar nerve entrapment - a bit like carpal tunnel but a different nerve. I have it, little and ring fingers, not sure where it gets pinched, often happens when I'm lying in bed reading and can be both hands which suggests something going on around my neck although moving my elbows sorts it

[Flosy in reply to PMRpro]

OK.thats when I feel it most is when in at nite.is there anything we can do for it.it goes up to my next too.

[Flosy in reply to Flosy]

Bed at nite.

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Flosy]

Maybe your pillow is the wrong shape or worn out. Or the mattress is saggy, All sorts of reasons.

[Flosy in reply to PMRpro]

OK.is it better to lie flat not to high.

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Flosy]

No way of knowing - you have to experiment a bit. Everyone is different.

[Flosy in reply to PMRpro]

OK thank you.for your advice.
