tingling, numbing, and burning sensation in arms and hands

I get a tingling, numbing and burning sensation in my arms and hands. This usually occurs when I lift my arms, or have them bent at the elbows. This has been going on for a couple of years. My chiropractor thinks that it is a picnched nerve in my neck but no results. I can drop my arms and shake it out when it happens but as soon as I resume the irritating position such as writing or washing dishes for example the numbness just comes back. One day when I was in the Dr. office my hands got so numb that I couldn't feel the pen anymore and someone had to help me write. I need some input as to what might be going on with me.

I have the exact same problem and doctors are having a hard time diagnosing.

I too am having the same problem,when my arms get really tingly i feel nauseous. The doctor thought that i might have carpul tunnel, so she referred me to a physio therapist, during the session, my arm went very tingly, i felt nauseous then nearly passed out, the rest of the day i felt very weak .
I went back to see the doctor and have been referred for blood tests.

Hi,

Did you manage to pin down what was causing your problems as I seem to be suffering the same symptoms at the moment...
