Numbness and Tingling

[BillyD07]

I am 32 years old and in pretty good shape . I have been having tingling and numbness in my left cheek and eye, left arm and hand, left shoulder blade and left leg and foot.  The doctors have only done basic check ups on me.  The minute they find out I have anxiety problems, they write it off due to that.  I know my body and I feel that there is something wrong because it will not go away.  Any suggestions?

It Has happened before ,but went away after a couple of days. This time it seems to be lasting . When I went to the hospital ,all they did was listen to my chest and back ,check my blood sugar and take my BP. As I stated befor, as soon as they hear the words anxiety they write it off!! I have never had an MRI done. But , I have had a stress test done a while back and it was good!

Hello.

I would like to ask if you have these symptoms since a long time. And were any imaging studies (MRI) done earlier?

There is a possibility of a nerve entrapment in the cervical region. There could be a cervical rib or bulging disc(s).
